Make me gasp for air
Hit me, blind my sight
Like a flash out of nowhere
Cause I know you're more than meets the eye
I can read between the lines
Can't let you pass me by
My blood runs faster
One kiss, I'm in your twister
Lift me up to higher ground
You leave me breathless
My heart starts rushing
One kiss and walls come crushing
Lift me up to higher ground
And I can't come down
Bring me to my knees
Show me something real
Take me for a ride
'Til I fall asleep at the wheel
Cause I know, there's no one else like you
The damage that you do
I'm dying in your arms
Cause you leave me breathless
My blood runs faster
One kiss, I'm in your twister
Lift me up to higher ground
You leave me breathless
My heart starts rushing
One kiss and walls come crushing
Lift me up to higher ground
(You lead me on again)
(You keep my fire burning)
You lead me on again
You keep my fire burning, oh yeah
Cause you leave me breathless
My blood runs faster
One kiss, I'm in your twister
Lift me up to higher ground
You leave me breathless
My heart starts rushing
One kiss and walls come crushing
Lift me up to higher ground
And I can't come down
You leave me breathless
You leave me breathless
Oh yeah
The lyrics to Treat's song Breathless are about being completely enamored with someone and the effect they have on the singer. The metaphor of being breathless is used to indicate how intense the feelings are and how the person they are singing about takes away their ability to breathe. The idea of being swept off their feet and blinded by love are also used to express the intensity of their feelings.
The singer knows that the person they are singing about is different from anyone else and they can't let them pass them by. They want to be shown something real and taken on a ride that will make them fall asleep at the wheel. The sensation of falling asleep at the wheel is interesting because it implies that the singer has completely lost control and is completely trusting the other person to guide them through life.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the person makes the singer feel breathless and trapped in their love. They can't come down from the high that their love brings and the walls that were once up around their heart come crashing down. The bridge of the song reinforces the fact that the singer is under the spell of the other person and can't resist their allure.
