Leo referred to the song on BBC radio’s ‘The Beat’ as being about finding someone special on the back end of a difficult time.
It is named Berlin as that is the name of the venue in New York where Leo found his current girlfriend.
[Verse 1]
Oh, fire in my blood
I only said that we could be light
Slow down, this slipstream
You're running off into the night, the night
Oh lord, remember me?
I'm not religious but I'm afraid, afraid
[Chorus]
Don't make me count my blessings
You'll make me die confessing
Your touch has cured my weakness
This night don't end, we're sleepless
[Verse 2]
And you said that you feel
Like you've known me forever, forever
Then she's fled, nothing's real
But I'll need this endeavour, endeavour
So I'll hold on, these memories
Irreplacable, oh, I know, I know
[Chorus]
Don't make me count my blessings
You'll make me die confessing
Your touch has cured my weakness
This night don't end, we're sleepless
[Outro]
New York saviour
Built my faith up
Gave me purpose
Fire like a furnace
