[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
So take a look at me now
Oh, 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
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face
Oh, take a look at me now
Or I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's a chance I've gotta face

[Outro]
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now, take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now

The Postal Service

The Postal Service were an electronic pop duo consisting of producer Jimmy Tamborello and singer-songwriter Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie.

The collaboration between the two started when Tamborello’s solo project, Dntel, released “(This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan” featuring Ben Gibbard in 2001. The positive feedback of the song led to the duo deciding to make an album together.

Their only album, Give Up, was released in 2004. Out of its ten tracks, the best known song is probably “Such Great Heights”. However, their only charting single was “We Will Become Silhouettes”, which reached 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
