La chanson met en scène une fille qui a le coeur brisé par le départ de son petit ami. Elle croyaient qu'ils seraient unsi jusqu'à la mort. Or ce dernier en a décidé autrement. Elle rêve qu'il entend son appel et revient auprès d'elle. Mais elle sait très bien que ses chances sont minimes : "against all odds"...
 
 

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breathe with you (ooh 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 yhe pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who rzlly knew me at all...

******

So take a look at me now
Cause ther's just an empty space
And ther's nothnig left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
Cause ther'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
Cause ther's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me know
Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's waht I've got to face

******

So take a look at me now
Cause I'll be standing here
And you coming back to me Is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take (yeah)
(ooh ooh)
Take a  look at me now...

ooh oooh....
