Been running 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

Oh, 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
Your smile 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
Your smile 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
(Need 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, I)
In my arms, babe
(Oh, I)
I need to be next to you
Oh, I, oh, I
