You Take My Breath Away

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We are the people who's come here to play

I don't like it easy

I don't like the straight way

We're in the middle of something

We're here to stay

And we raise our heads for the colour red

I'm in the first row on your show

In the first row on the First Floor Power show

Your vibrato's like vulnerable leaves

You do it crazy

That's how you talk to me

We are the people who's come here to play

I don't like it easy

I don't like the straight way

We're in the middle of something

We're here to stay

And we raise our heads for the colour red

I heard you for the first time on the radio

When I was going somewhere in a car

You touched my heart

Like a knife that's very sharp

Or like a bird, you just set free

That?s just like me

(I keep my knife sharp)

When I hear you speak

We are the people who's come here to play

I don't like it easy

I don't like the straight way

We're in the middle of something

We're here to stay

And we raise our heads for the colour red

I like vanilla and I like sex

I ride the pony that I like best

I knew I knew that there was something I missed

I was fifteen when I first got kissed

Before I knew about the equality way

I wanted to get laid to "Take my breath away"

We are the people who's come here to play

I don't like it easy

I don't like the straight way

We're in the middle of something

We're here to stay

And we raise our heads for the colour red

We are the people who's come here to play

I don't like it easy

I don't like the straight way

We're in the middle of something

We're here to stay

And we raise our heads for the colour red
