Sixpence None The Richer
"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
