  • Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon
    Why am I holding on?
    We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
    How did it come so fast?
    This is our last night but it's late
    And I'm trying not to sleep
    'Cause I know, when I wake
    I will have to slip away

    And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
    But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
    'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
    But tonight I need to hold you so close
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa

    Here I am staring at your perfection
    In my arms, so beautiful
    The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
    Somebody slow it down
    This is way too hard
    'Cause I know, when the sun comes up
    I will leave, this is my last glance
    That will soon be memory

    And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
    But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
    'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
    But tonight I need to hold you so close
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa

    I never wanted to stop
    Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over
    I was afraid of the dark
    But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

    And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
    But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
    'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
    But tonight I need to hold you so close

    And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
    But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
    'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
    But tonight I need to hold you so close
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
    Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa

    Ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah)
    Ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa Writer/s: Adam Levine, Mason David Levy, Max Martin, Samuel Denison Martin
