Catch My Breath

Westlife · Back Home [2007]

We were still in high school

When I first met you

Even then you were the prettiest girl

That I ever knew

And we carved our name on

Everything that we could find

The way that all kids do

And although time has passed

I still get surprised

At the pulling in my chest

When I know you're coming by

If this feeling's proving anything

It's not everything

Is gonna change with time

You're still mine



Did you know when you're around

My heart won't it can't slow down

It beats so hard it makes it hard

To catch my breath, to catch my breath



Don't ever ask me if I'm sorry

Or that I'm here with you

Baby you can bet

I don't regret the girls I never knew

Every day's another first

Another change for me

To fall in love with you

And I do:



Did you know when you're around

My heart won't it can't slow down

It beats so hard it makes it hard

To catch my breath, to catch my breath



Oh.. when you're with me

I stop seeing

Any way to fail how do I explain

I try to tell you what I'm feeling

But how do I when all words pale



Did you know when you're around

My heart won't, it can't slow down

It beats so hard it makes it hard

To catch my breath, to catch my breath



Did you know when you're around

My heart won't, it can't slow down

It beats so hard it makes it hard



To catch my breath, to catch my breath

To catch my breath, to catch my breath

To catch my breath, to catch my breath
