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
