Story Behind The Song

The protagonist is in love but the girl is only half interested

Lyrics

Don't You Turn Away

Our skins radiate
But I'm the only one who's feeling it
You're looking back bemused
Like who's does this guy think he is
But you stay along for the ride
Like you're gonna throw and play me on a line
But when it comes time to part
You don't give a thing just a half smile
Hey don't you turn away
Hang on hang on - give me just a look
Yeah don't you turn away
Hang on hang on - stay with me and talk - don't you turn away

You got your life on track
You don't need to cross this field of mines
Your business is your passion
If I can drive your numbers you'll give me the time
And you're reading all my signs
Like bill boards flashing you know they're there
I'm a prisoner in the spot light
All you got for me is a knowing stare

Hang on hang on stay with me and talk
Hang on hang on don't you turn and walk

Listen to our rhythm
Don't you want to chase that ecstasy
We can light fire with grace
We can find a book that makes you believe
Cause I'm screaming under this skin
I need something for this suffering
Light me up with your eyes
Show me that your heart might let me in
