I m gonna turn
and walk away
you can wait
til I am far along
then run and come
and catch my arm
and say you d die
if I were gone
I want to hear you
call my name
it s too easy
just to say it soft
I don t like my language
watered down
I don t like my edges
rounded off

I can t always wait
for your circumstance to improve
love is loose it
shifts each time you move
go aheadput my back
against the wall
give it all up
or don t give it to me at all
you never know this could be
our last night
so step back
step back into the light
so I can see your sillouette
I m not done looking yet

safe the profile for the camera
give me your eye to eye
I know all your secrets
and you know all of mine
mostly I don t go
for the soft focus and the fantasy
I need something real
I can think
and say and see so

I m going to turn
and walk away
you wait til I am far along
then run and come
and catch my arm
and say you d die
if I were gone
yes I m going to turn
and walk away
you can watch me go
or you can make me stay
