Billy Idol - One Breath Away lyrics

rate me

If I had a world to give

And if I had a life to live

Would you come to me?

Would you come to me?

And if I had the time in hand

Spilt out in grains of sand

Would you be with me?

Would you be with me?

You see that everything I do

Still leaves me lost and alone for you

If I could find some time

And a place to hide

I could sit right down

And free my mind

One breath away

One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone

Wasted emotions carry on

One breath away

One breath away, my dear

Girl, when you took me by the hand

You touched the child inside the man

And I was free

Yes I was me

But then love took a different turn

And now the child begins to burn

'cause I'm angry

'cause I can feel

You see that everything I do

Still leaves me lost and alone for you

If I could find some time

And a place to hide

I could sit right down and free my mind

One breath away

One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone

Wasted emotions carry on

One breath away

One breath away my dear

Here comes the pressure

And it's coming down hard

My spirit is fading

But I'm still gonna fight

Here comes the pressure

And it's coming down hard

My spirit is fading

But I'm still gonna fight

Instrumental

If I could find some time

And a place to hide

I could sit right down

And free my mind

One breath away

One breath away

And I know the past is dead and gone

Wasted emotions carry on

One breath away

One breath away my dear

Oh yeah

One breath away

And that's the hardest breath to take my dear
