[English]

My fever's high, like summer nights, all the faces in the light

My sun don't shine, without you, I'd would be lost

But now that I found you, mind you

If you want it, come and take it

I'll share my secret, I know you'll like it

You should hurry, don't keep me waitin'

You got me out my mind, in the twilight, yeah

Tick and tock, I'm runnin' outta patience

Round the clock, don't stop before we're outta time

We're outta line, we're on a vide, feel so alive-live

So take my breath away

Come take my breath (come take my breath)

Take my breath away

Come take my breath (take my breath)

Just take my breath away

Take my breath (take my breath)

Take my breath away

I can't believe it

Way that we breathin', got my heartbeat beatin' like

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

I just can't hide, I love this feelin'

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

Come take my breath away

Let me catch a breath for this verse right now

And I'll catch a jet to Berlin right now

Like a maverick, I gotta Cruise like Tom

Are you really wit' it? Don't waste my

Come and be my oxygen

Mach 3 speedin' over continents

T minus somethin' that's approximate

Pursue you as a target, I'm boxing in and I'm lockin' in (oh)

If you want it, come and take it

I'll share my secret, I know you'll like it

Tick and tock, I'm runnin' outta patience

Round the clock, don't stop before we're outta time

We're outta line, we're on a vide, feel so alive-live

So take my breath away

Come take my breath (come take my breath)

Take my breath away

Come take my breath (take my breath)

Just take my breath away

Take my breath (take my breath)

Take my breath away

I can't believe it

Way that we breathin', got my heartbeat beatin' like

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

I just can't hide, I love this feelin'

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

Come take my breath away

Come take my last breath from now until the end

Death won't do us apart, mm

(So be my) be my best (take it) step by step

Make me exhale again

So take my breath away

Come take my breath (oh, come take my breath)

Take my breath away (won't you come? Won't you come?)

Come take my breath (take my breath)

Just take my breath away (take my breath away)

Take my breath (take my breath)

Take my breath away (my breath away)

I can't believe it

Way that we breathin', got my heartbeat beatin' like

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

I just can't hide, I love this feelin'

Breathe in, breathe out

We can't stop, oh, na-na-na

Skip that talk, blah-blah-blah-blah

Come take my breath away
