Forget to Breathe
(Anderson)

You've been on my mind for quite a while, girl
Can't wait to see you back where you belong
Forgive me if all I can do is smile, girl
Don't be alarmed if I break into song

'Cause patience is hard for me to learn
As soon as you're near, my head will turn
To follow the lines that you draw
If one of those lines should lead to me
I'd act nonchalant believably
Or maybe just faint dead away
'Cause, knowing me, I might forget to breathe

Your letters seem to paint the sky for me, ma'am
Your words can fly me to the highest cloud
Where you are is where I'd like to be, ma'am
Sometimes I wish that I could smile out loud

'Cause patience is hard for me to learn
As soon as you're near, my head will turn
To follow the figure you wear
And if by some chance I catch your eyes
I'd play it so cool, hide my surprise
Or maybe just faint dead away
'Cause knowing me, I might forget to breathe
