[Verse 1: Tom Howie]
~#**************#~
Stay strong, carry on
~#**************#~
What you want isnt far away
~#**************#~
If you were so sure that were not working out
~#**************#~
You dont have to stay
~#**************#~
You say you want more, whats it for?
~#**************#~
Set the score every time you play
~#**************#~
‘Cause if you cant see how much you mean to me
~#**************#~
What else can I say?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Drew Taggart]
~#**************#~
Stay strong, carry on
~#**************#~
You should know that Im here to stay
~#**************#~
And if you need more, whats it for?
~#**************#~
Tell me what price I gotta pay
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Howie with Drew Taggart]
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? This isnt temporary
~#**************#~
Wait, I need you more than you think
~#**************#~
Wait, Im only asking you to stay
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Tom Howie & Drew Taggart]
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait for me to call just to hear you say
~#**************#~
Im all that you want and you wanna stay?
~#**************#~
Why would you hang on for so long just to walk away?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait for me to know who I wanna be?
~#**************#~
Youre the one I want when Im running free
~#**************#~
I know that someday we could say we were meant to be
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Tom Howie]
~#**************#~
Therеs so much more in store
~#**************#~
For us both, on the othеr side
~#**************#~
One day we can say
~#**************#~
That we left all of this behind
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Howie with Drew Taggart]
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? This isnt temporary
~#**************#~
Wait, I need you more than you think
~#**************#~
Wait, Im only asking you to stay
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Tom Howie & Drew Taggart]
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait for me to call just to hear you say
~#**************#~
Im all that you want and you wanna stay?
~#**************#~
Why would you hang on for so long just to walk away?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait for me to know who I wanna be?
~#**************#~
Youre the one I want when Im running free
~#**************#~
I know that someday we could say we were meant to be
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait? Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
[Outro: Drew Taggart & Tom Howie]
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
~#**************#~
Why cant you wait?
