"Please Be Here" lyrics

"Please Be Here"
(originally by The Loved Ones)

Our shadows dance on the bedroom wall
If only this night could last a little longer
For now I'll hold you close and pretend that I'm not leaving

I know your scars start to feel more sore
On nights like this where I can't bear to face the fact
That I'm not sure which road makes sense to take

It's clear to me that you're the one
Who won't tell lies or turn tail and run
You're tired of feeling under the gun
Hold on tight my lonely one

This isn't quite what you bargained for
I know it stings to always prop up on someone
Whose own selfish heart seems to be the one that's beating

But we would die if we just keep score
Just give it time I know it feels like you've put
Everything on hold, I swear I'll make it right

It's clear to me that you're the one
Who won't tell lies or turn tail and run
You're tired of feeling under the gun
Hold on tight my lonely one

Heaven knows I need you here
Hell's stoking up my hopeless fear
Oh god, please, just give this purgatory a little rest

It's clear to me that you're the one
Who won't tell lies or turn tail and run
You're tired of feeling under the gun
Hold on tight my lonely one
Hold on tight my lonely one
Hold on tight my lonely one
