Stay strong, carry on
What you want isn´t far away
If you were so sure that we´re not working out
You don´t have to stay

You say you want more, what´s it for?
Set the score every time you play
´Cause if you can´t see how much you mean to me
What else can I say?
Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait?

[Drew Taggart]
Stay strong, carry on
You should know that I´m here to stay
And if you need more, what´s it for?
Tell me what price I gotta pay

[ Tom Howrie, Drew Taggart]
Why can´t you wait? This isn´t temporary
Wait, I need you more than you think
Wait, I´m only asking you to stay

[Tom Howrie, Drew Taggart]
Why can´t you wait for me to call just to hear you say
I´m all that you want and you wanna stay?
Why would you hang on for so long just to walk away?
Why can´t you wait? Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait for me to know who I wanna be?
You´re the one I want when I´m running free
I know that someday we could say we were meant to be
Why can´t you wait? Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait?

[Tom Howrie]
There´s so much more in store
For us both on the other side

One day we can say
That we left all of this behind

[ Tom Howrie, Drew Taggart]
Why can´t you wait? This isn´t temporary
Wait, I need you more than you think
Wait, I´m only asking you to stay

[Tom Howrie,  Drew Taggart]
Why can´t you wait for me to call just to hear you say
I´m all that you want and you wanna stay?
Why would you hang on for so long just to walk away?
Why can´t you wait? Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait for me to know who I wanna be?
You´re the one I want when I´m running free
I know that someday we could say we were meant to be

Why can´t you wait? Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait?

[ Drew Taggart, Tom Howrie]
Why can´t you wait?
Why can´t you wait?
