Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics by The Postal Service

Give Up (10th Anniversary Edition)

2004

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
