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 here
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...)
