She was silent trying to be like the girl who acted on the TV

Always knowing what 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



Breakaway tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We got to get it right

We got to understand



Kept me watching waiting as I stood among 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



Breakaway tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We got to get it right

We got to understand



Facing all the questions in the minutes of a game

We played so long ago

Dangerous and beautiful a radio transmission

That I have to know

You could never run

You could never stay

And I think you belong to me



Breakaway tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We got to get it right

We got to understand



Breakaway tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We got to get it right

We got to understand
