"Next to Me" (also known as "River Road"[S 1] or "Hey Man") is a song by Lana Del Rey. It is the second track from her unreleased album Sirens. The song leaked online on May 31, 2012, alongside the other contents of Sirens. The song's title is unconfirmed due to the lack of metadata attached to the file when it leaked.
Background[]

Lyrics[]
Another day is over, another day is done
And now I'm gettin' closer to the risin' sun
Hey there, what you doin'?
Would you like a little company?
Hey man, how you doin'?
Would you like to sit next to me?
Another day is over, another day is done
Another night I'm waitin', waitin' for the sun
Hey there, what you doin'?
Would you like a little company?
Hey man, how you doin'?
Would you like to sit next to me?
"Well, I don't know, little lady
You're awfully pretty, but I'm a nice man
I live a nice life, I have a nice house, I have a great wife
And I'm tired of making decisions without thinking, oh"
Another moon is shinin', another evening come
Another hour unwindin' 'til the night is done
Hey man, what you doin'?
Would you like a little company?
Hey there, how are you doin'?
Would you like to sit next to me?
Next to me, next to me
Hmm
