[Verse]
Closer than close, every waking moment in
Each other's arms and hands (One, two)
Night-time repose, but I'm still awake dreaming
Hope that you'll understand
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long time since I been in
My very own skin, I admit it
I'm feeling like I might need a minute more
It's been a good while, I'm forgetting
'Cause I don't think I've had time to sit in it
Make sure that it's all I've been waiting for
[Chorus]
You're all that I do
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
It's true
My heart can't lie
We're always like two
And I just wanna be one for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
But I know that I'll always need my
Personal space (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
I need my
Time on my own
Just to be my own best friend
I'll kill time without you there
I need my
Place to retrace
All the lines we've been drawing
On each other's lives and plans
[Bridge]
Ayy
See, it's not like I'm hearing warning bells
It's not like I've met somebody else
It's just a thing that my body tells me
Don't go take the wrong meaning
Yeah, I'm tryna tell you all that I'm feeling
But this time, I just need myself to grow
[Chorus]
You're all that I do
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
It's true
My heart can't lie
We're always like two
And I just wanna be one for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
But I know that I'll always need my
Personal space
[Post-Chorus]
I need my
Personal space
All our time
Facing to face
Oh, I need my
Personal place
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I need my–
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I need my–
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I need my–
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I need my–
