You Take My Breath Away Lyrics

[Chorus: Karin Dreijer Andersson and Jenny Wilson]
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
We're in the middle of something
We're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the colour red

[Verse 1: Karin Dreijer Andersson]
I'm in the first row on your show
In the first row, on the First Floor Power show
Your vibrato's like vulnerable leaves
You do it crazy, that's how you talk to me

[Chorus: Karin Dreijer Andersson and Jenny Wilson]
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
We're in the middle of something
We're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the colour red

[Verse 2: Jenny Wilson]
I heard you for the first time on the radio
When I was going somewhere in a car
You touched my heart, like a knife that's very sharp
Or like a bird ([Karin] I was thinking about birds) you just set free
That's just like me ([Karin] I keep my knife sharp), when I hear you speak

[Chorus: Karin Dreijer Andersson and Jenny Wilson]
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
We're in the middle of something
We're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the colour red

[Verse 3: Karin Dreijer Andersson]
I like vanilla and I like sex
I ride the pony that I like best
I knew that there was something I missed
I was fifteen when I first got kissed
Before I knew about the equality way
I wanted to get laid to-Take My Breath Away

[Chorus: Karin Dreijer Andersson and Jenny Wilson]
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
We're in the middle of something
We're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the colour red
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
We're in the middle of something
We're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the colour red
