Lyrics:

[Intro: AJ]
Oh-oh yeah

[Verse 1: Brian]
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
And girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say

[Pre-Chorus: Howie]
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough

[Chorus: All & Brian]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep drowning in your love

[Verse 2: AJ with Nick & All]
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not
'Cause I have known the safety
Of floating freely in your arms
And I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh-oh, can't you see

[Pre-Chorus: Nick with Howie, Brian]
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough
(Don't seem like long enough, yeah)

[Chorus: All & AJ]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above (rise above)
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
[Bridge: Kevin with AJ]
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air that I breathe

[Chorus: All, Brian & AJ]
Every time I breathe I take you in
('Cause every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love (by love)
Baby I can't help it (can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love (love, yeah-yeah)

[Interlude: All, Nick & AJ]
Baby I can't help it
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Got me drowning (oh-oh-oh)
Got me drowning
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Baby I can't help it
(Can't help it, can't help it, no-no)
Got me drowning

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in (I do)
And my heart beats again (oh-yeah!)
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it

[Outro: AJ]
You keep me drowning in your love
