Lyrics:

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
