Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Verse 1

Oh, can you stay awake?

One more hour, maybe this can change

Oh, can you numb the pain?

'Cause it runs deep in constant waves

How's it gonna work when we can't admit it?

Pretend that we don't know now

Tried to drag it out, but we beared it livin'

We can let it go now

Chorus

And there's nothing that I can say at all

You can't hold my heart no more

And I'm waiting for your arms to fall

You can't hold my heart no more

Yeah, there's nothing I can say at all

You can't hold my heart no more

And I'm waiting for your arms to fall

You can't hold my heart no more

Verse 3

We made a city sound

Had a fire, but it's dying down

We tried to make a wave

But we got lost and swept away

How's it gonna work when we can't admit it?

Pretend that we don't know now

Tried to drag it out, but we beared it livin'

We can let it go now

Verse 4

Yeah, there's nothing I can say at all

You can't hold my heart no more

And I'm waiting for your arms to fall

You can't hold my heart no more

I know you're trying to hold on close

But it's slipping through your fingertips

I know you're trying to hold on close

Yeah, there's nothing I can say at all

Verse 5

You can't hold my heart no more

And I'm waiting for your arms to fall

You can't hold my heart no more
