Portrait
Hold me close and I'll breathe you in, get under your skin
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
Take my heart and wear it on a chain around your neck
Know it's already yours
Come with me, we'll go to the beach, fall into the sea
Drink me up, kiss me in the waves, taste the salt and spray
Draw our names on the wet sand, let the tide wash us away
I'll float with you until the grave
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
Think there's a portrait of you hung in the Louvre
I'd go to Paris just so I could see you
I'd stand and look at you, and never turn away
Until I memorise your face
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
How can I breathe when I'm in love?
Hold me close and I'll breathe you in, get under your skin
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
Hold me close and I'll breathe you in, get under your skin
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
How can I breathe when I'm in love?
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
Take my heart and wear it on a chain around your neck
Know it's already yours
Come with me, we'll go to the beach, fall into the sea
Drink me up, kiss me in the waves, taste the salt and spray
Draw our names on the wet sand, let the tide wash us away
I'll float with you until the grave
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
Think there's a portrait of you hung in the Louvre
I'd go to Paris just so I could see you
I'd stand and look at you, and never turn away
Until I memorise your face
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
How can I breathe when I'm in love?
Hold me close and I'll breathe you in, get under your skin
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
Hold me close and I'll breathe you in, get under your skin
Let me see all your darkest thoughts, what no one else knows
And I, I can't survive
Want to breathe you, want to feel you in my lungs
And I, I can't survive
Want to swim in you, want to drown in your blood
How can I breathe when I'm in love?
