Letra de
Against All Odds

A música Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now), composta por Phil Collins, foi inspirada por uma experiência pessoal de Collins, especificamente seu divórcio, o que reflete a emoção crua e a sensação de perda sentida na música.

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace,
When I stand here taking every breath with you, 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,
And even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now
Cause there's just an empty space,
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face.
Oh take a look at me now
Cause 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.

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 there's just an empty space,
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face.
Oh take a look at me now
Cause 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
Cause I'll still be standing here,
And you coming back to me is against all odds,
It's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me now.
