Next to Me (Recorded in Paris)

[Verse 1]

Now there's something about the way that you walked into my living room

You're casually and confident, you're lookin' at the mess I am

But still you, still you want me

Now stress lines and cigarettes, politics, and deficits

Late bills and overages, we're screamin' and hollerin'

Still you, still you want me

[Chorus]

Oh, I always let you down

You're shattered on the ground

But still, I find you there

Next to me

Oh, all the stupid things I do

You see, I'm far from good, it's true

But still, I find you

Next to me

[Verse 2]

There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view

You overlook the mud and mess, you're always lookin' effortless

Still you, still you want me

You see, I've got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege

I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts

Still you, still you want me

[Chorus]

Oh, I always let you down

You're shattered on the ground

But still, I find you there

Next to me

Oh, all the stupid things I do

You see, I'm far from good, it's true

But still, I find you

Next to me

[Bridge]

So thank you for taking a chance on me

I know it isn't easy

But I hope to be worth it

I said thank you for taking a chance on me

I know it isn't easy

But I hope to be worth it

[Chorus]

Oh, I always let you down

You're shattered on the ground

But still, I find you there

Next to me

Oh, all the stupid things I do

You see, I'm far from good, it's true

But still, I find you

Next to me

[Spoken: Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon]

Thank you so much, thank you

Why don't we do- let's do Don't Forget Me

And then, just to stay in the mood and then-

Kewl

Wait did you say 'cute' or 'cool' (Cool) Oh, cool

I thought you said cute, I liked that

It's how Californians say 'cool'

"Ah, Kewl"

I'm never more aware of how terrible American accents are than when I'm in France

Every time we come here I find myself listening to how I say things and I'm like, mmm

I just- I mean, I'm sure you hear this all the time but the French accent is the most beautiful in the world

And I think the American accent is close to the bottom (Huh?)

It's like, German, American, (What do you mean?)
