Lyrics

I’ve been empty
When I’m low, you fill the cup, yeah
But my ego fights back telling me that
I’m ready to grab the wheel and take control
But I’ll crash if I don’t let myself let go

You put the “X” on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you’re at
Patient when I try to move too fast
I get this feeling
I get this feeling

I get this feeling in my spirit when I’m low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You’ve been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong

Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)

I’ve been captive by the plans I tried to make, yeah
I’ve been selfish
‘Cause callous heart they die hard like habits
That I know I gotta break
Ain’t it good to know that help is on the way? (Help is on the way)

You put the “X”on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you’re at
Patient when I try to move too fast
I get this feeling
I get this feeling

I get this feeling in my spirit when I’m low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You’ve been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong

Right next to me, oh, oh-oh
You know I tried to do it on my own (on my own)
Oh, oh-oh
You say it’s time for me to come back home
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)

I get this feeling in my spirit when I’m low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You’ve been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong

I get this feeling in my spirit when I’m low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You’ve been gone too long (back where you belong now)
Let me lead you back where you belong

Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)

About This Song

“'Next to Me' is about a struggle I feel like I’ve had my entire life. The constant struggle of wanting to do things in my own strength. When I and other songwriters were creating this song, I always referred to Psalm 145:18-19: “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.” This verse is a promise that God is here; He’s near us all the time.

This world can trick our minds into thinking somehow, we can make things better on our own. Or, we don’t have to invite Jesus into our circumstances. This song is a reminder that He’s right here, next to us. Next to us in our hurt. Next to us in our joy. Next to us in our suffering. He’s never left your side, and He never will." - Jordan Feliz
