[Intro]
I forget to
[Verse 1]
It's been a week since you hit my bed
And since then, you've started living in my head, eh
Seven days, and I'm nearly dead
Never thought that I'd reboot
But you're a different kind of new
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's like I feel everything more (I forget to)
All my body knows it when you reach my floor, eh
My heart is beating down the door
And now I'm stocking up on oxygen
[Chorus]
'Cause when I see you
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to, when I'm with you
(I forget to)
[Verse 2]
If I could just inhale some chill
It's like I'm living out in space
How am I still here?
Did you slip me a magic pill?
Got me lifted like an astronaut
No helmet on and my lungs just stop
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So please, when you look at me like that
There's no way to fight back, no
Please, can't you see I'm stocking up on oxygen?
[Chorus]
'Cause when I see you
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to, when I'm with you
When I see you, I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to, when I'm with you
[Bridge]
I don't know how to live without the breath you finish
I don't know how to live without the breath you finish
I don't know how to live without the breath you finish
Give me it, give me it
[Chorus]
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to bre-e-eathe
I forget to, when I'm with you
When I see you, I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to bre-e-eathe (I forget to)
I forget to, when I'm with you
[Outro]

Breathe was written by Asia Whiteacre & Oscar Holter & Rickard Göransson & Astrid S.
Breathe was produced by Oscar Holter.
I wrote it with Asia Whiteacre. She did Hailee Steinfeld’s song “Starving.” She’s great. So we wrote it together with two Swedish producers from the production team, Wolf Cousins [Oscar Holter and Rickard Göransson]. They did Tove Lo’s album. We spent two days on it. It was actually a really hard so...
Usually I do but with this one, not at all. I didn’t even bother to ask for the demo. Usually most songs that I end up releasing are very instant songs and they’re easy to write, you just feel it right away. But with this song, when we spent two days on it and it was really hard… there was no arguin...
