While I'm Here

STAY WHILE I’M HERE

Verse 1
Midnight, your shadow on my wall,
I hear your voice but you don't call.
You pull me closer, then you disappear,
Tell me you love me, but you never make it clear.

I don't need diamonds on the floor,
I just need you to want me more.
Don't wait until I'm walking out that door
To give me everything I was waiting for.

Pre-Chorus
I can feel you when you hold me,
But I need more than words tonight.
If you're gonna love me, love me slowly,
Don't make me leave to make you realize.

Chorus
Stay while I'm here,
Don't wait until I'm gone.
Hold me like you mean it,
Like you knew it all along.
I don't need forever,
I just need something real.
If you're gonna love me, baby,
Love me while I'm here.

Verse 2
Your hands say things your lips won't say,
You look at me like you wanna stay.
But every time I get too close to you,
You build another wall I can't break through.

Maybe I'm scared of needing you,
Maybe you're scared of needing me too.
But if we're both standing in this room,
Tell me why we're acting like there's nothing left to lose?

Bridge
Don't save your tears for another night,
Don't find your courage when I'm out of sight.
If my name still shakes your heart,
Then come closer before we fall apart.

Final Chorus
Stay while I'm here,
Don't wait until I'm gone.
Hold me like you mean it,
Like you knew it all along.
I don't need forever,
I just need something real.
If you're gonna love me, baby,
Love me while I'm here.

Outro
While I'm here...
While I'm here...
Don't wait until I'm gone.
