Lyrics
What does take to calm down?
We tremble and we shake… we scream without a sound
What kind of love is this?
You were here in my arms and you told me you’d be staying.
Where are you tonight?
What does it take to let go?
How many times must I learn what I know
the kind of love this is?
You were here in my arms and you told me you’d be staying
Where are you tonight?
I’ll wait awhile, I only wanna be with you
I’ll wait awhile, you don’t have to say you love me
What does it take to get through?
Is far away too close… how can I get to you?
What kind of love is this?
You are here in my dream and you tell me you’ll be staying
You’re here with me tonight !
Stay awhile, I only wanna be with you
Stay awhile, you don’t have to say you love me
Stay awhile, I only wanna be with you
Stay awhile, Stay awhile, Stay awhile
We tremble and we shake… we scream without a sound
What kind of love is this?
You were here in my arms and you told me you’d be staying.
Where are you tonight?
What does it take to let go?
How many times must I learn what I know
the kind of love this is?
You were here in my arms and you told me you’d be staying
Where are you tonight?
I’ll wait awhile, I only wanna be with you
I’ll wait awhile, you don’t have to say you love me
What does it take to get through?
Is far away too close… how can I get to you?
What kind of love is this?
You are here in my dream and you tell me you’ll be staying
You’re here with me tonight !
Stay awhile, I only wanna be with you
Stay awhile, you don’t have to say you love me
Stay awhile, I only wanna be with you
Stay awhile, Stay awhile, Stay awhile

Comments:
I’m unclear as to what the song is about. We need more information about the narrator and the person they’re singing to. Where are they? What does it look like? It’s hard to emotionally connect to a song if we can’t understand the characters in it.
