Lyrics

Shout

She was silent trying to be

Like the girl who acted on the TV

Always knowing when to say

Wishing for a moment so that they could see

Staring in the night

A picture in my room

And I think that she knew her lines

Break away tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We've got to get it right

We've got to understand

Carefully watching waiting as I

Stood upon the back streets and we start to play

I was screaming louder as the

Curtains fall between us in a twisted way

Staring in the night

A picture in my room

And I think that she knew her lines

Break away tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We've got to get it right

We've got to understand

Placing all the questions in the

Minutes of a game we won so long ago

Dangerous and beautiful the

Radio transmission that I have to know

You could never run

You could never stay

And I think you belong to me

Break away tonight

I wanna hold your hand

We've got to get it right

We've got to understand
