[English]

Inhale harder

Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

I know you've been waitin' to exhale

Baby, when you face me, I can tell right

Can't hide from me

Don't talk too much, I know what you need

Follow me, no need to follow your mind

Or your heart, whoa

Mouth-to-mouth, when you're touchin' me

Open up, baby, I'll fill your lungs

See beyond

You don't need no air, you can just

Breathe me

Breathe me

One breath ain't enough

Breathe me

Inhale harder

Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

Take you higher

We can go where you wanna, na-na

You don't need no air, just

Breathe me

Breathe me

I can feel you inside out

Can you feel me inside now?

Can you even see right now?

I'm a one-way trip

This is a two-way thing

I'll make you feel free

Do anything for me

Don't talk too much, I know what you need

Follow me, no need to follow your mind

Or your heart, whoa

Mouth-to-mouth, when you're touchin' me

Open up, baby, I'll fill your lungs

See beyond

You don't need no air, you can just

Breathe me

Breathe me

One breath ain't enough

Breathe me

Inhale harder

Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

Take you higher

We can go where you wanna, na-na

Inhale harder

Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

Take you higher

We can go where you wanna, na-na

Inhale harder

Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

Take you higher

We can go where you wanna, na-na

Baby, no, you don't need no air, just

Breathe me

Breathe me
