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
