Breathless

(Ad-libs: ooh, ayy, yeah)

Intro (soft falsetto)

Mmm, every time you near me — I stop the world, slow it down

Verse 1

You slide in like trouble wrapped in satin light

Room gettin’ smaller, baby, when you step in sight

Heartbeat playin’ drumline, got me losin’ track

I’m countin’ every second till your fingers on my back

Eyes lock, time froze, I don’t know what to do

Mind racin’ wild but my chest stay cool

I bite the words back, swallow every breath

‘Cause when you look my way, it feels like life and death

Pre-Chorus

I try to play it cool, say I’m livin’ free

But your shadow on my door is all that I see

Holdin’ every promise, holdin’ every step

Baby I’m a hundred miles away and I ain’t left

Chorus

I’m holdin’ my breath when you walk in the room (hold it)

You make the air disappear, bring me close to the moon (ooh)

Can’t breathe till you tell me it’s true (tell me)

All this silence between us, I’m waitin’ on you

I’m holdin’ my breath just to feel you again (feel you)

Slow motion heartbeat, swimmin’ in where we begin (where we)

One look, one touch, and I break (I break)

I’m breathless, baby, for goodness sake

(Ad-libs: yeah, whoa)

Verse 2

Late night confessions over candles and wine

You speak in whispers and the stars realign

Tryna read your face, but you soft like a song

Every little curve got me where I don’t belong

I’m afraid of sayin’ too much, afraid of sayin’ none

Caught up in what we are and what we could become

Keep my hands steady, keep my mind in check

But you pull me closer and I can’t catch my breath

Pre-Chorus

You move like a secret I been dyin’ to know

One step, one smile, and I’m drownin’ slow

Holdin’ every hope, holdin’ every sigh

Baby if you leave, don’t forget I tried

Chorus

I’m holdin’ my breath when you walk in the room (hold it)

You make the air disappear, bring me close to the moon (close)

Can’t breathe till you tell me it’s true (tell me)

All this silence between us, I’m waitin’ on you

I’m holdin’ my breath just to feel you again (feel)

Slow motion heartbeat, swimmin’ in where we begin (begin)

One look, one touch, and I break (I break)

I’m breathless, baby, for goodness sake

Bridge (vulnerable, half-spoken)

If love is a risk, then I’ll bet my calm

If your lips the cure, baby, apply the balm

I ain’t perfect, I got cracks and I got flaws

But you steady me, girl, give me cause

So say the word, let the oxygen in

I’ll stop holdin’ out if you promise to begin

Breakdown (falsetto runs)

Breath in, breath out — (ooh)

Can’t keep runnin’ from how I feel now — (nah)

Say my name soft, lure me down — (down)

I’ll stop the act, I’ll stop the doubt

Chorus (final, lifted)

I’m holdin’ my breath when you walk in the room (walk in)

You make the air disappear, bring me close to the moon (moon)

Can’t breathe till you tell me it’s true (tell me)

porque music

See you when I see you
