Hang Around Awhile

Here I stand without an answer

Reaching out to feel your hand

And I try to find the courage that can keep me hangin' on

You help me be a better me

So many left without a goodbye

A thousand miles in between

I could not have made the change

Without your push in the right direction

Lift me up, help me escape

And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside

And All the times I've needed someone to believe in me

To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love

I hope you hang around awhile

Here you stand with your defenses

Build them up and build them strong

It's alright to let them soften as I hold you close at night

No need to hide a thing from me

And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside

And all the times I've needed someone to believe in me

To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love

I hope you hang around awhile

Hang around so you can see me take my second chances

Hang around so you can help me wish on one more star

Hang around so we can take this love and make it shine

I hope you'll hang around a while
