We run from these feelings 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

But I need to be next to you
I need to share every breath with you
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 need to be next to you 

Right here with you is right where I belong
I'd 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 bare the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore 

'cause I need to be next to you 
I need to share every breath with you
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 need to be next to you
I need to have your life next to mine
for all time

Hold you for all my life
I need to be next to you
I need to be next to you
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 need to be next to you
(share every breath with you)
(I need to feel you in my arms, babe)
I need to be next to you
