[Verse 1]

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

[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? (Hold me while you wait)

[Verse 2]

Tell me more, tell me something I don't know

Did we come close to havin' it all?

If you're gonna waste 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'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)

[Bridge]

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?

[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'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)

[Outro]

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

Won't you stay a while?
