Love, Don't Turn Your Back on Me Now - Jesse Ruben

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
