[Intro]
Ooh, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I'm breakin' down this wall
You can't see me at all
Just tryin' to reach out to you
I'll start this from the top
'Til the rain starts to drop
Out from the sky on to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't pretend
Like the tension has all gone away
It's not that easy anyway
Please, don't continue to see me and still walk away
Just want to hear you say

[Chorus]
Why, can't I just go back in time
And erase it from my mind
'Cause I don't want to think of those nights?
Why, can't it all just go away?
I just want to give it up today
Please, say you want me, you want me to stay
Oh, you want me to stay, oh
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's much harder
The what it really seemed
Can't tell the difference from real and make-believe
But I'll make this story have the greatest ending
'Cause I still want your love, yeah, there's no pretending

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't pretend
Like the tension has all gone away
It's not that easy anyway
So, please, don't continue to see me and still walk away
Just want to hear you say

[Chorus]
Why, can't I just go back in time
And erase it from my mind
'Cause I don't want to think of those nights?
Why, can't it all just go away?
I just want to give it up today
Please, say you want me, you want me to stay

[Bridge]
And if you ask me to go
I won't say, "No"
But that is my last request
I hope you ask me to stay
Yeah, there ain't no other way
Please, say you want me, you want me to stay
[Chorus]
Why, can't I just go back in time
And erase it from my mind
'Cause I don't want to think of those nights?
Why, can't it all just go away?
I just want to give it up today
Please, say you want me, you want me to stay
Why, can't I just go back in time
And erase it from my mind
'Cause I don't want to think of those nights?
Why, can't it all just go away?
I just want to give it up today
Please, say you want me, you want me to stay
