Against All Odds
Countdown Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath 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 the pain
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Well 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
Well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face, oh
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
Well 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
Well there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And it's what I've got to face
Take a look at me now

How can I just let you walk away,
I cannot just let you leave without saying anything
Just let you leave without a trace?
I cannot let you go without leaving any mark or impact
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
I am here with you, taking every moment shared with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all
You were the only one who really understood me completely
How can you just walk away from me
How can you just leave me and go
When all I can do is watch you leave?
All I can do is watch you go
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
We have shared happy and sad moments together
And even shared the tears
We have even cried together
So take a look at me now
Look at me now and see my current state
Well there's just an empty space
There is nothing left here to fill the void you have left
And there's nothing left here to remind me
There is nothing left here to remind me of our times together
Just the memory of your face
I have only the memory of your face left
And you coming back to me is against the odds
The chance of you coming back to me is unlikely
And that's what I've got to face, oh
I have to accept this reality
I wish I could just make you turn around
I wish I could make you come back
Turn around and see me cry
Turn around and see how much you mean to me
There's so much I need to say to you
There are many things I want to say to you
So many reasons why
So many reasons why I want you to stay
But to wait for you is all I can do
All I can do now is wait for you
And that's what I've got to face
I have to accept that waiting is my only option
'Cause I'll still be standing here
I will still be waiting here for you
And you coming back to me is against the odds
The chance of you coming back to me is unlikely
And it's what I've got to face
I have to accept this reality
Take a look at me now
Look at me in my current state and see what has become of me
