Turn Around

I'd reached a point in my life
Where I thought I knew
Wrong from right
And where I'm going to.
Then along came you.
You turned my heart all around,
Each little part upside down
In a heartbeat sound

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified,
You won't be there
When I turn around.

I saw my road up ahead.
I'd carry my load.
Until I'm dead.
“I'm alone” I said.

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified,
You won't be there
When I turn around.

I've been here before I sometimes think.
My heart so sore it could drive me to drink
And I'm starting to sink.
Was it this way last time I tried?
What did we say before we cried?
I've no memory of that side.

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified
You won't be there
When I turn around.

My eyes fill with tears, my head with dreams.
Your words in my ears like warm sunbeams
Till my heart screams.
It's calls out “please” but then says “no.”
the heartbeats cease and then move slow,
Then it whispers “don't go.”

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified,
You won't be there
When I turn around.

I wanted to fall but this is serious.
I wanted it all, to be delerious.
Sometimes I'm just curious.
Where will this lead? Could it maybe last?
Is this a seed growing too fast,
Or will it soon be past?

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified,
You won't be there
When I turn around.

You've made me smile and feel again,
If you stay awhile it's worth the pain,
But there's more that we could gain.
A place for us, a rocking chair,
A sunlit house: We could be there,
With greying hair.

And I'm so frightened.
And I'm so scared.
Yeah I'm terrified,
You won't be there
When I turn around.
