[Verse 1]
These hands are tired
These fingers don't move the way they should
These palms are weak
I can't hold the words, the ones I want to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could make it, why should I make you
This is the one thing I'm supposed to do
If I could be anything, I don't think it'd be you

[Chorus]
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
(See the way you [?])
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
(See the way you [?])

[Verse 2]
These words are mine
This story now is moving underneath
This house is ours
We built the walls but won't you let me speak

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could make it, why should I make you
This is the one thing I'm supposed to do
If I could be anything, I don't think it'd be you

[Chorus]
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
(See the way you [?])
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
(Feel the way you [?])

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
Can you take this for me tonight
Can you hold it for a while
(See the way you [?])

[Outro]
Can you hold it for a while
Can you take it, can you take it
Can you hold it just for a while
