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 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?
