I'm waiting up, saving all my precious time
Losing light, I'm missing my same old us
Before we learned our truth too late
Resigned to fate, fading away
So tell me, can you turn around?
I need someone to tear me down
Oh, tell me, can you turn around?
Put it away

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 having 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 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 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)
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
