Song Description
Everyone wants to feel like the person that they love loves them back as strongly and as deeply. Tell me you love me is a lover's desperate plea to know whether or not his love is going somewhere or if it will be lost in the eyes of a lover who has consistently resisted committing to their relationship and has even walked out in it more than once in the past.

Lyrics
First you were scared to only see me in the day.
Then as the time went by you couldn't look away.
Then you said, "Baby, maybe, let's give love a try."
Then, when the clock struck 10, again you had to fly.
You're fighting an undertow
Just let it go...
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me,
Tell me you're done with your goodbyes.
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me,
Tell me there's love..in your eyes
So many ways you say you're scared to let me in.
So many days I nearly let you let that win.
But then I find you lost and lonely, knocking on my door.
I've waited this long, i guess I'll wait a little more.
You're taking me me high and low
And I can't say no
CHORUS
