lyrics

Tell me your story,
Takes place before me.
I've got time, if you've got time
I'll be yours, if you'll be mine
The answer is in your eyes

Don't walk back to me
Don't talk back to me
Don't walk back to me
I know you will...

Try not to worry
Just go where you met me
Everyone is happy
Everyone has plenty
But I don't make the rules

Don't walk back to me
Don't talk back to me
Don't think I won't see
It all gets back to me

Don't know what's wrong with me
Don't know how to be
Don't walk back to me

So you think, you can do better
It's all the same
except you just met her
What you need is find a way to stay away
Lose your cool
Wouldn't be the first time
You hate your friends,
I already lost mine
It's in your head
You've lost your way
