I'm waitin' up, savin' all my precious time Losin' light, I'm missin' my same old us Before we learned our truth too late Resigned to fate, fadin' away So tell me, can you turn around? I need someone to tear me down Oh, tell me, can you turn around? But either way 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) Tell me more, tell me something I don't know Could we come close to havin' it all? If you're gonna waste my time Let's waste it right 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'd cared a little more (hold me while you wait) I wish you'd told me this before (hold me while you wait) My love, my love, my love, my love Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait) This is you, this is me, this is all we need Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe This is you, this is me, this is all we need So won't you stay a while? 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'd cared a little more (hold me while you wait) I wish you'd told me this before (hold me while you wait) My love, my love, my love, my love Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait) Stay a while (hold me while you wait) (My faith is shaken, but I still believe) Stay a while (Hold me while you wait) My love, my love, my love (hold me while you wait) Won't you stay a while?
