Lyrics

I Turn Away

I turn away
when we get too close I seldom stay
anyplace too long I run away
instead of holding on, don't want the blame
if something should go wrong between us

you were the one
the one with all the love
I was so scared
I was scared and I was young

you showed me world
I'd only heard about
and you let me sing
you let me sing so loud

you told me love was something sacred
something real
but I put on my defenses
thinking it's too good to be true


I turn away
when we get too close I seldom stay
anyplace too long I run away
instead of holding on, don't want the blame
if something should go wrong between us

we walked through the rain
barefoot in the snow
and we watched the spring
turn to summer gold

you gave me more faith
that anyone had before
and I locked the gate
and I said don't come any closer

now these days are long and lazy
hazy, and there humid as hell
you've been patient
you've been loving
but maybe you should love someone else

I turn away
when we get too close I seldom stay
anyplace too long I run away
instead of holding on, don't want the blame
if something should go wrong between us
