Would ya spare a minute?
Give me a single chance
To look in your eyes
Let me hold your hands

I want to get close enough
To read you
Understand you
Open up your heart

Open up your mind
Nobody needs another stalker in your life
I'm only here to help you learn to love me
To know me

[Chorus]
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you, makes you want to stay. 
Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't want to blink 'cause in a second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me to turn the story round
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

Did ya see me staring
You caught my eye
Don't turn around
Don't walk away

The night is young, can we get together?
Got so many questions
Feelings I can't explain
We're worlds apart

Don't even know your name
I'm longing to give you my heart

[Chorus]

Turn around, don't evaporate
Like you never came 
Turn around don't be a ghost
Forever never there to haunt me

Sliding doors
They aren't just on a train
We're alone on a platform in the rain
There's a chance
And it won't come again
Turn around your whole life has changed

[Chorus]

Turn around
Turn around
