Love, Don't Turn Your Back on Me Now

She walked into the room
And I feel like pretty soon
I’ll have to hide, run and hide
I’m so shy
My heart-rate had come down
And so I took a look around
And then I realized she was nowhere in my sight
Maybe this is more than just a feeling
I try to talk but can’t remember how
Fireworks are falling from the ceiling
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
I’m worried that she’s left
So I’m running out of breath
Because I’m chasing her face around the halls
I found her by the door and then I asked her
«Are you sure? Because leaving would be the worst idea of all.»
And maybe this is more than I can handle
I’m shaking and I’m staring at the ground
You turned out the light and lit a candle
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
She asked me for my name
She told me it’s a shame
Because she’s leaving for the coast the next day
She reached out for my hand
And I still didn’t understand
And then she told me, «If you ask me to, I’ll stay»
So maybe I should be a little patient
Maybe I should be a little proud
You’ve exceeded all my expectations
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
Maybe this is more than just a feeling
I’ve never said «I love you» quite so loud
Seeing you is so good it should be stealing
Love, don’t turn your back on me
Don’t turn your back on me
Love, don’t turn your back on me now
