I've run from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need you
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I'd feel inside
But I need to be next to you
(Need to be next to you)
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
(Share every breath with you)
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you
Smiling each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you
Oh I
I need to be next to you
Need to be next to you
Right here with you is right where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore
'Cause I need to be next to you
(Need to be next to you)
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
(Share every breath with you)
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you
Smiling each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you
Oh I
I need to be next to you
I need to have your heart next to mine
For all the time
Hold you for all my life
I need to be next to you
I need to be next to you
(To be next to you)
Oh I, oh I
Need to be, need to be next to you
Share every breath with you
Oh, oh I
I need to feel you in my arms, babe
(Oh)
In my arms, babe
(Oh I)
I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
(Oh I)
