Lyrics

personal space

[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–
