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
