Been running from this feeling for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need it
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 feel inside

Chorus :
(But/Cause) I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath of you, oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you 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 lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't make it if you're not there
I can't fight what I feel any more

[Chorus]

I need to have your arms next to mine for all the time
Holding for all my life
I need to be next to you
I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
Need to be, need to be next to you
Share every breath of you
I need to feel you in my arms baby, in my arms baby
I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
