Against All Odds (Phil Collins cover) Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, oh
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
Because 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, because there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, because there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to 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, because there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, because there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well, that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, because I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oh
Just take a look at me now
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, oh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
When all I can do is watch you leave
Because we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, because there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face
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
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, because there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well, that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, because I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oh

love this. makes me laugh so much.
once it really gets going, it makes me think about ben gibbard doing n*sync dance moves with his guitar swinging around.
heeee.
What album is this song featured on?
Is it the bonus track on the Give Up Import?
Tronyc: It was originally on a 7" that was included in the Devil in the Woods Magazine. One of the first times anyone heard of the Postal Service. It is now also included on the soudtrack for the movie "Wicker Park".
i think this song is really incredible. the beginning gives you this dark feel that really brings you in, and the rest of the song is truly awesome.
wow.... the way this song was redone is amazing... i didnt care too much for the phil collins original but when tps came out with this, i almost tripped over myself... and the video was done so well.. especially with the beats.... you can see the video on Launch.
