You Can Sit Beside Me 🕯️ Soul Blues | Nola Jean Hart (Official Lyric Video)

Late night. One low lamp. You try to explain what went wrong — and the words run out. You don't need it fixed. You just need someone to sit down. A slow soul song for the nights you can't make it make sense, and don't have to. What this song is: a slow 6/8 piano soul ballad about asking to be sat with, not solved. What it isn't: a breakup. He stays. That's the whole point.

You set your keys down on the table, Pulled a list up in your head. I know you're only trying to help me, But I need something else instead. [Pre-Chorus] So don't go find the answer, baby, Don't go looking for the cure. [Chorus] You can sit beside me, You don't have to make it make sense. Leave the lamp down low, Let the quiet do the rest. You don't have to fix me, Or know how this will end, Just sit beside me, baby, You don't have to understand. [Verse 2] Every "you should," every "have you tried," Every plan laid out on the floor, Only leaves me feeling more alone, Like I'm talking through a door. I don't need you to be a hero, I don't need another plan, I just need to hear you breathing, I just need to hold your hand. [Pre-Chorus] Put the answers in your pocket, Let 'em keep until the morning. [Chorus] You can sit beside me, You don't have to make it make sense. Leave the lamp down low, Let the quiet do the rest. You don't have to fix me, Or know how this will end, Just sit beside me, baby, You don't have to understand. [Bridge] We don't have to fill the silence, Silence isn't a wall. Two people saying nothing Can still be saying it all. [Final Chorus] Now you're sitting right beside me, And it doesn't have to make sense. Lamp is burning low, And the quiet does the rest. You didn't try to fix me, You just let me lean on you, You just sat beside me, baby, And I could breathe again. [Outro] Stay right there... You can sit beside me. — Lyrics written and chosen by a human songwriter.
