Intro

    

Verse 1

Get a load of me get a load
of you walking down the street
And I hardly know you it's
just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you
when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend you say it isn't right
and I've got someone waiting too

Refrain 1

What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming

Chorus

Why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever
I talk about you
It's inevitable it's a fact
that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you

Interlude

Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you

Verse 2

Isn't this the best
part of breaking up
Finding someone else
you can't get enough of
Someone who wants
to be with you too
It's an itch we know
we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for
this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful

Refrain 2

Here we go we're
at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet
but my heads spinning

Chorus

Why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever
I talk about you
It's inevitable it's a fact
that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you

Bridge

High enough for you to
make me wonder where it's going
High enough for you to pull
me under somethings growing
Out of this that we can
control baby I am dying
Why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever
I talk about you

Chorus

Why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever
I talk about you
It's inevitable it's a fact
that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me why can't I breathe
whenever I think about you

Outro

Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
