Verse
Saw you sittin' by the riverbank,
Starin' at the sunset, watchin' it sink.
Your phone in hand, you're waitin' for a call,
But honey, it ain't comin', no, not at all.

Pre-Chorus
Why you holdin' on to yesterday, When tomorrow's here, beggin' you to stay? Chorus
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you standin' there in that same ol' place?
Life's movin' on and so should you,
There's a world out there with a brighter view.
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you wastin' your heart on a hopeless case?

Verse
I see the spark that's in your eyes,
But it's dimmin' fast, girl, it's no surprise.
You're chasin' shadows of a love gone cold,
But I'm right here, ready to hold.

Pre-Chorus
Why you holdin' on to yesterday,
When tomorrow's here, beggin' you to stay?
Chorus
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you standin' there in that same ol' place?
Life's movin' on and so should you,
There's a world out there with a brighter view.
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you wastin' your heart on a hopeless case?

Verse
You’ve been hangin’ on to what’s long gone,
But girl, don’t you see, that chapter’s done?
There’s a ember in your heart, waiting to ignite,
And I’ll be here to love you through the night.

Pre-Chorus
Why you holdin' on to yesterday,
When tomorrow's here, beggin' you to stay?

Bridge
Let's take a ride down that open road,
Leave behind that heavy load.
I'll show you love that won't fade away,
Take my hand, let's start today.
Chorus
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you standin' there, why hesitate?
Life's movin' on and I'm right here,
Let's chase the dreams that are crystal clear.
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait,
So why you wastin' your heart, come on, let's escape.
Outro
No more waitin', we're on our way,
To a love thats here, and here to stay.
Hey, he didn't ask you to wait.
So why you wastin' your heart
on a hopeless case?
Saw you sittin' by the riverbank,
But now you're with me, watchin' dreams take shape.
No more waitin', we're on our way,
To a love that's here, and here to stay.
