Released: July 7, 2003

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Graham Russell

Why do i live in the past and why should it hurt me to ask
If someone can hear, i'm standing right here
But this talking aloud cannot last

I've never been one full of words
It's much better to hide in a smile
With nothing to say, i'd just walk away
Disappear to my room, and shake my fists
Think things over and stare into the wall

And all this time i feel like screaming
Turn that key, let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone
Let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone

Inside it's so easy to breathe, but never so easy to leave
And just when i try, the fence gets too high
So i sleep with my head on my sleeve

And i dream of us flying away to a place that is out of the way
And there's somebody there who says i don't care
Who you are, where you're from, what you need
Or what you're thinking, we love you anyway

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
