[Verse 1]
So I left and started dancing under the street light
And you saw me and I saw that you saw me
And you were always one to wander 'round these places
With eyes for ears and ears for ideas
And I slept, tell you what it was
I liked the way we felt
Your friend, he kept on talking about
I, I couldn't care
I know how I get when I hear people lie to me
[Chorus]
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
[Verse 2]
Standing in your room and I keep on feeling I might drown
You ask me for more and more and more
So I left and started dancing under the street light
And you saw me and I saw that you saw me
And I want you to be
[Chorus]
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
[Bridge]
You turned off your phone
And I hit the wall, and
You know how people find themselves
In a fever, after all
And you saw me and I traced the lines of your face around
The lines of what I had drawn
You know me by my heart
And you know me by my face
And you know me by the reasons
That the world took all of our places
And there's a thing when there's a reason
And there's a place to be here
And I was existing just to be unclear
[Chorus]
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
[Outro]
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
(Feel like I might, feel like I might break)
(Feel like I might, feel like I might)
(Feel like I might, feel like I might break)

“Break” is about being at the mercy of a feeling… and just trying to go with it. The chemicals will do what they do when that connection is there.
It started out as me going to New York between tours to work with Thomas Bartlett. Thomas and I met when he was at Latitude festival in England with ‘The National’- I met him backstage and we got on really well. He ended up producing my last solo record ‘By the Horns’ 8 years ago… and I just loved s...
The lyrics of ‘Break’ (in general) are about being at the mercy of something. How you can feel just because of someone or something being in your life. Both out of control and/or feeling controlled by it. Then trying to just go with it. And the song is a fun version of that sonically, like, you get...
I was inspired to write ‘Break’ from hearing the first original track that Thomas Bartlett, who I wrote this with, had created. We were hanging out in his studio and he was showing me some of the music he had been writing, he played this track, it sounded a bit Prince, bit David Byrne… and I asked h...
It was definitely a process over time.
I grew up loving dance music and dancing a lot as a kid and teenager, I loved going to clubs and dancing.
But when I first started writing music, I used it as a way to cope with challenging experiences, first big heartbreak, family breaking up and so on. I lea...
“Break” is a song about being at the mercy of something, like a feeling. Like falling in love, whether it’s good or bad for you, sometimes it’s just out of your control. So just let go and enjoy the ride. We tried to make it feel that way sonically, so you get pulled along by the rhythm and the groo...
