Texas (i/ˈtɛksəs/) (Alibamu: Teksi ) is the second most populous and the second most extensive of the 50 United States, and the most extensive state of the 48 contiguous United States. The name, based on the Caddo word "Tejas" meaning "friends" or "allies", was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas. Located in the South Central United States, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south, and borders the US states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and a growing population of 25.7 million residents.
During the Spanish colonial rule, the area was officially known as the Nuevo Reino de Filipinas: La Provincia de Texas. Antonio Margil de Jesús was known to be the first person to use the name in a letter to the Viceroy of Mexico in July 20, 1716. The name was not popularly used in daily speech but often appeared in legal documents until the end of the 1800s.
I watch in adoration
Every little thing you do
The way your smile lights up the room
The easy way you move
And then you take my hand in yours
And then you pull me near
And in that crystal moment
My life is so clear
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna touch everything you touch
I wanna be everywhere you are
I wanna love everything you love
I wanna breathe every breath you take
Be a part of every move you make
Closer to your heart than anybody's been
Under your skin
I'm without hesitation
I give myself to you
Wrapped up in this emotion
So deep and so true
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna touch everything you touch
I wanna be everywhere you are
I wanna love everything you love
I wanna breathe every breath you take
Be a part of every move you make
Closer to your heart than anybody's been
