[Verse 1]
Waitin' up, saving all my precious time
Losing light, I'm missin' my same old us
Before we learned our truth too late
Resigned to fate, fadin' away
Tell me, can you turn around?
I need someone, someone to tear me down
Tell me, can you turn around?
Either way

[Chorus]
(Hold me while you wait)
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?

[Verse 2]
Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
Could wе come close havin' it all?
If you're gonna wastе my time
Let's waste it right

[Chorus]
And hold me while you wait
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
I wish you told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
[Verse 3]
This is you, this is me, this is all we need
Is it true? My fate is shaken, but I still believe
This is you, this is me, this is all we need
So won't you stay?

[Chorus]
And hold me while you wait
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
I wish you told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
