Sixpence None the Richer - Need To Be Next To You Lyrics

Need To Be Next To You
Written by Diane Warren
from Bounce soundtrack

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...)
