Breathing
Jason Derulo [RitmoMundial.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only miss you when I'm breathing
I only need you when my heart is beating
You are the color that I'm bleeding
I only miss you when I'm breathing

This ain't no ordinary feeling
You are the only thing that I believe in
I know you're coming back to me
I will be waiting here for you til the end

I only miss you when I'm breathing!
I only miss you when I'm breathing!
Without your love, don't know how I survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing!

Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay

I wanna see pictures of you leaning
I needs for walls, and on the ceiling
Gave you a kiss, but I'm dreaming
These crazy thoughts are so deceiving
You are the drug, I am fiening
Paradise that I'm so seeking
I'm still alive, hope there's a reason
Can't move my lips, but my heart's screaming

I only miss you when I'm breathing!
I only miss you when I'm breathing!
Without your love, don't know how I survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing!

Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay

Oh baby, I only miss you when I
I'm screaming at your name, but you don't answer me
I know I kissed your face, is this my fantasy?
Sound the alarm, tell everyone that I only miss you

I only miss you when I'm breathing!
I only miss you when I'm breathing!
Without your love, don't know how I survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing!





I only miss you when I'm breathing

Overall Meaning

In Jason Derulo's song "Breathing," he expresses his love for someone and how she is the reason why he's alive. He only misses her when he takes a breath, and he only needs her when his heart is beating. The woman is the color that he's bleeding, which means that she's a part of him, and he can't live without her. The feeling of love is not something he's felt before, as he says, "This ain't no ordinary feeling." He believes that the woman will come back to him, so he will wait for her until the end.


The chorus in the song is repeated three times and emphasizes how he only misses her when he's breathing. He understands that he can't survive without her love, and she's the only one who can keep him alive. He mentions how he wants to see pictures of her leaning and wants to have them on his walls and ceiling. The imagery creates the feeling of longing and how he desires her presence. He calls her his drug, and he's seeking paradise with her.


The bridge in the song has a more introspective tone where he admits that he can't move his lips, but his heart is screaming. He's fighting to keep alive and hopes that there's a reason for it. He screams her name, but she doesn't answer, and he wonders if kissing her was just his imagination. However, he concludes that he only misses her when he's breathing.

Lyrics Enjoy

I only miss you when I'm breathing
I only need you when my heart is beating
You are the color that I'm bleeding
I only miss you when I'm breathing

This ain't no ordinary feeling
You are the only thing that I believe in
I know you're coming back to me
And I will be waiting here for you 'til the end

I only miss you when I'm breathing!
I only miss you when I'm breathing!
Without your love, don't know how I'll survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing!

Oh I see pictures of you leaving
On these four walls and on the ceiling
Gave you a kiss, but I am dreaming
These crazy thoughts are so deceiving

You are the drug I am needing
Paradise that I'm still seeking
I'm still alive, hope there's a reason
Can't move my lips, but my heart is screaming

I only miss you when I'm breathing!
I only miss you when I'm breathing!
Without your love, don't know how I'll survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing!

Oh baby, I only miss you when I
I'm screaming out your name, but you don't answer me
I know I kissed your face, it's this my fantasy
So sound the alarm, tell everyone that I only miss you

I only miss you when I'm breathing
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Without your love, don't know how I'll survive
It's you, it's you that's keeping me alive
I only miss you when I'm breathing
I only miss you when I'm breathing
