Lyrics:

The Postal Service cover Phil Collins' “Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)”, but with a highly updated sound.
The 1990s arena rock sound of the original is replaced with a soft, sad, electronic backing.
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Oh, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've gotta face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Oh, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Oh, take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face
Oh, take a look at me now
Or I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's a chance I've gotta face

Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
