[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
If only I could wake you up
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?

[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 timе
Let's waste it right

[Chorus]
And hold me whilе 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)
(This is you, this is me, this is all we need)

[Outro]
Won't you stay a while?
