A Certain Kind of Touch
Breathe Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've gotta get out of this place, she said
And follow our hearts to content, she said
I want it all, but there's nothing you can do to stop me now

Oh my god, the way you look tonight
Oh my god...
And this could be the way for us to change
This could be, this could be
The way for us to change
Oh no, oh no

This could be
This could be
This could be
The way for us to change...

I can feel my breath growing faster...
I think this could be right now

Let's call out all our fears right now
And open hearts with clear content
We know, it's all about the way it comes out
Of your mouth and mind
And oh my god, I think it's happening
Oh my god, the way you look tonight
And this could be
The way for us to change...

I need you more now than ever
This could be the right time to change...

I can feel my breath growing faster...
I think this could be right now
