I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there
Had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare
No, I don't dare
'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared
I'm so scared
Take me back in time, maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care?
Oh, I don't understand it for you it's a breeze
Little by little, you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care?
No, I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love
And if all that there is
Is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there
Had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare
No, I don't dare
'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared
I'm so scared
Take me back in time, maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care?
Oh, I don't understand it for you it's a breeze
Little by little, you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care?
No, I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love
And if all that there is
Is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

I love the lines "turn a different corner and we never would have met". It's so poetic. Even though he uses it in the exact opposite context, I think of all the wonderful people I know and how many of them would have remained strangers if I had turned a different corner.
So he's saying, because he is scared, he'd rather go back to 'being lonely and confused' as he was before he met this person - ultimately it seems, because he is too scared to do anything further. Hence wanting to 'turn a different corner'.
That's what it means to me, anyway.
Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care
If we'd never met, would he care? Would I? How would things be different?
