Billy Idol - One Breath Away Lyrics

Billy Idol Lyrics

"One Breath Away"

If I had a world to give and
If I have a life to live
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me?

And if I have the time in hand
Built up 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 can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear

When you took me by the hand
You touched a child inside the man
And I was free
Yes, I was me
But then I 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 can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear

Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit's fading
But I'm still gonna fight
Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit's fading
But I'm still gonna fight

If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
My dear
Oh yeah
One breath away
And that's the hardest breath to take
My dear
