[Intro] You said, “Wait”—I heard “stay” One more night, then walk away [Verse 1] Your coat on the chair, keys in your hand You look at the door like you’ve made a plan I keep my voice low, keep my face composed But the room gets small when the silence grows [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain, don’t let it bend Are we beginning or reaching the end? [Chorus] Hold me close, then let me go You make a promise, leave me room to know One step in, one step out Tell me what this is about Hold me close, then let me go I can take the truth; I just need to know [Verse 2] You laugh with your friends like the night’s all right Then call me alone when you lose that light I’m done rehearsing the words I won’t say If you want me here, don’t keep me halfway [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain, don’t let it bend Are we beginning or reaching the end? [Chorus] Hold me close, then let me go You make a promise, leave me room to know One step in, one step out Tell me what this is about Hold me close, then let me go I can take the truth; I just need to know [Outro] One step in, one step out Tell me what this is about Hold me close… then let me go
