She was silent trying to be
like the girl who acted on the tv
always knowing when to say
wishing for a moment so that they could see

staring in the night
a picture in my room
and i think that she knew her lines

break away tonight
i wanna hold your hand
we've got to get it right
we've got to understand

carefully watching waiting as i
stood upon the back streets and we start to play
i was screaming louder as the
curtains fall between us in a twisted way

staring in the night
a picture in my room
and i think that she knew her lines

break away tonight
i wanna hold your hand
we've got to get it right
we've got to understand

placing all the questions in the
minutes of a game we won so long ago
dangerous and beautiful the
radio transmission that i have to know

you could never run
you could never stay
and i think you belong to me

break away tonight
i wanna hold your hand
we've got to get it right
we've got to understand
