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
What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming
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
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
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
Here we go we're
at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet
but my heads spinning
(Repeat Chorus)
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
(Repeat Chorus)
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
