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
picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines

Break away tonight
I want to 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
picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines

Break away tonight
I want to 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 [bad word] You could never stay
And I think you belong to me

Break away tonight
I want to hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand

Break away tonight
I want to hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand
