Next To Me Lyrics

Something about the way that you walked into my living room
Casually and confident, lookin’ at the mess I am
But still you, still you want me
Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
Late bills and overages, screaming and...

   Verse 1:
   "Something about the way that you walked into my living room
   Casually and confident lookin' at the mess I am
   But still you, still you want me
   Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
   Late bills and overages, screamin' and hollerin'
   But still you, still you want me"
   
   This part is about a relationship. The man (Dan Reynolds) feels like he is a mess. They two of them are stressed and facing a lot of challenges, but his significant other (Aja Volkman) still wants him, no matter how hard it gets.
   
   Chorus:
   "Oh, I always let you down
   You're shattered on the ground
   But still I find you there
   Next to me
   And oh, stupid things I do
   I'm far from good, it's true
   But still I find you
   Next to me"
   
   The narrator always lets his significant other down. He does stupid things. She's shattered on the ground, sad, stressed. He's far from a good person and he admits that. But still she is next to him.
   
   Verse 2:
   "There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view
   Overlook the mud and mess, always lookin' effortless
   And still you, still you want me
   I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege
   I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
   And still you, still you want me"
   
   She always sees the good side of him and their situation. She overlooks the mess that he is and thinks of all the good things about him. He admits that he has faith, but he's not innocent and faith doesn't give him that privilege. Above everything, she still wants him.
   
   Verse 3 (bridge?):
   "So thank you for taking a chance on me
   I know it isn't easy
   But I hope to be worth it
   So thank you for taking a chance on me
   I know it isn't easy
   But I hope to be worth it"
   
   He thanks her for giving him a chance, even though he isn't perfect. He knows it isn't easy to be with him, but he hopes to get better and that it will all be worth it for her.

   La canción habla alguien cuya vida en un desastre, que comete todo tipo de errores, pero que es amado incondicionalmente por otro. Que apareció en su vida, y no ha hecho más que intentar ayudarlo a superarse, a ser mejor. Que se queda a su lado, incluso cuando es su peor versión.
   El protagonista se cuestiona porque no entiende, por qué esta persona sigue a su lado, aún cuando ve lo duro que es para ella quedarse, pero también le agradece, y promete que al final valdrá la pena todo lo que está haciendo por él.

   I think this is pretty self explanatory. It's about someone who feels their loved one(or friend) needs someone better than them. They are amazed at how they stick by their side, no matter what.
