Lyrics in Colloquial English

I close my eyes and lean against your chest, listening to your heartbeat and your breathing. And at this moment, it seems as if we are the only two people left in the whole world. Your smile draws me in, and my heart beats faster. Every time you kiss me, it’s like the first time, and I want to kiss you all the time.
 
CHORUS
I just want to love you, love you, love you, and be with you always. I love the smell of your coat and the way you hold me in your arms. If we button our clothes together, we will never be separated. Our love is so wonderful, I just want to stick close to you, because of you.
 
Sometimes I pretend to be mad when I’m not angry, because your anxious concern makes me feel secure. I can see myself through your eyes, and I wonder if that’s because you understand me, or because from the start, we’ve always been so similar.
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
I want to become the oxygen that you breathe, flowing into your body. I want to take a good look into your heart; how precious you are to me! I love you.
 
REPEAT CHORUS
Our love will be forever this close and this beautiful.

I’m closing my eyes listening to your breathing
As if all have disappeared ‘cept you and me
The shape of your grin draws me in, and my heart’s beat-
-ing only for you, every kiss like the first one to me

CHORUS
Just want to love you, love you, love you, with you I’ll always be
I love the smell of your coat and when you embrace me tightly
If we button our clothes together, then you will never leave
This love that we share is so close to you and to me

Sometimes I act mad when I’m not that angry
And your instant concern makes me feel so relieved
It’s so interesting, through your eyes, I myself see
Is that because I’ve been like you right from the beginning?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Wanna be the air you breathe, flowing in your body
Want you to take a look and see
Just how precious you’ve become to me

CHORUS

Our love will be forever this close and this lovely
