Walk Away
Carlos St. John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come back, come back
We don't wanna go out like that
Come back

We can't go out like this
It's just the two of us
We should be makin' up
We could be makin' love
Didn't used to talk like this
Now you say you're givin' up
Took too much to build this house
I don't wanna sit and watch it burn down

I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving
I ain't giving you space
I will not be replaced
I don't wanna save face
Don't leave me open, leave me open, leave me open
Leave me open like that
Whatever love we had
We need to get it back

Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
There's so much more I wanna say

Come back, come back
We don't wanna go out like that
Come back, come back
We don't wanna go out like that

When we go to war like this
Nobody's winning it
Nobody's gotta leave
We're not the enemy
You know we're better than this
It's no ordinary love
And if we gonna fight
Then we need to fight for us

Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
There's so much more I wanna say

Take, take, take time
Fragile is my love
I ain't never givin' up
Give you my life, I would
I'll stand by you, bad times and good
I can't really cope like this
When you say you don't know me
Oh, why can't we slow things down?
Won't you put your love on me? Yeah
When mi touch di road, give me one phone call
Baby don't go
You are my love, so mi give you my all
I don't mind holding you, so you don't fall
(I don't mind holding you, so you don't fall)
(So you don't fall)

Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Can we just wait?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
There's so much more I wanna say

Come back, come back
We don't wanna go out like that (we don't wanna go)
Come back, come back
We don't wanna go out like that

Hey baby
Come on over
Yeah
Ooh, baby




We don't wanna go out
No, no, nah, nah, no
