Take my Breath away
Jan Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away ~
Take my breath away ~
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become a faded wife
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn me and say (my love)

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the motion somewhere there's a lover in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
(my love)




Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Take My Breath Away" by Jan Wayne appear to be about a couple whose relationship is both passionate and complicated. The storyteller is constantly observing the movements of their partner in this "foolish lover's game," and while they feel shameless and free on this "endless ocean," they cannot help but anticipate and fear what might come next. The couple seems to have a bond that goes deeper than just physical attraction, and the storyteller experiences feelings of love - but they also go through tough times when they are not sure how to communicate or how to make things work.


The lyrics are tinged with nostalgia and the sense of time slipping away. The storyteller looks back at moments that they shared with their partner, both joyful and painful, and feels haunted by the memory of a time when their love was somehow purer, when their fire burned strong. The chorus is the most significant part of the song, where the storyteller acknowledges that their partner has a power over them that takes their breath away. The repetition of the phrase symbolizes not just physical attraction but also the deeper emotions that come with being in a relationship that is sometimes fraught with tension and uncertainty.


Overall, "Take My Breath Away" is a song that captures the essence of a relationship that is both all-consuming and fragile. The lyrics are carefully crafted to evoke a sense of longing, passion, and heartache that listeners can relate to, and the melody matches the emotional tone of the story that the lyrics tell.
