You're hiding 'round the bend
So attentive
This midnight hour is so relentless
I'm like a sitting duck beyond the trenches
Singing the only song I'll never finish
Tried and true
Wrong place and wrong time to run into you
No time to think
You beat me blind
Empty my pockets on the lot
And leave me there to die
There is no way of fighting back
In the crosshairs of a coward and a bat
Take my eye with the first shot
I'll take the fall
And you can take all that I've got
But you can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
In my finest hour
My only witness
Rusty old bent rims I rode in with
Hear you peeling off into the distance
I sing the only song I'll never finish
No sight
I still got soul
Still got a mind that beats me blind all on its own
I still can think
And I still can feel
I know this pain
And it ain't real
I know this pain
Oh it ain't real
I know this pain
Oh it ain't real
You can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
You can't take my breath away
(Take my breath away, take my breath away)
Like a sitting duck beyond the trenches
Singing the only song I'll never finish
I still can think
I still can feel
I know this pain
And it ain't real
Like a sitting duck beyond the trenches
Singing the only song...
That never takes my breath away
