[Verse 1]

I'm waitin' out, savin' all my precious time

Losin' light, I'm missing 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

Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)

Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)

I know, I know, I know, I know

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 time

Let's waste it right

[Chorus]

And hold me while you wait

Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)

Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)

I know, I know, I know, I know

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, I know, I know, I know

Won't you stay awhile?

[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

[Chorus]

And hold me while you wait?

Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)

Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)

I know, I know, I know, I know

Won't you st

Ay awhile? (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, I know, I know, I know

Won't you please stay here? (Hold me while you wait)

[Outro]

Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(This is you, this is me, this is all we need)

Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe)

Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(This is you, this is me, this is all we need)

My love, I know, I know, I know

Won't you please stay here?
