[Intro]
Ooh, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm breakin' down this wall
You can't see me at all
Just tryin' to reach out to you

[Verse 1]
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
