Can I Hold You

I'm so glad that I came back here
'Cause I never would have ran into you
And I hope that I can say it through
'Cause I wanna tell you how I really feel
You make me bubble up inside
And I know that that's embarrassing
But I gotta be open and true to me
Even if it leaves me vulnerable
So here I am speaking my mind
And this is my one and only shot
To have you here right by my side
It would be the best feeling I've had
I hope that I'm not being too weird
And I hope that you're still following along
So let me explain the truth to you and say

I wanna hold somebody up next to me
Get real close and feel their warmth
But it can't be just anybody
Can I hold you

Something's been missing a while
I need someone to fill the void
To close my arms and hug you there
Would make me feel so ecstatic
And butterflies fill up my stomach
When I think of telling you how I feel
You make me feel so very nervous
I wish we could just be together
I understand there's limitations
I guess it would be hard for us
But I just need you to give it a try
I hope that I can make it worth it
I wanna spend all of my time with you
And I know that you are very busy
But I will surely practice my patience because

I wanna hold somebody up next to me
Get real close and feel their warmth
But it can't be just anybody
Can I hold you

And I dream of the moment that I can hug you tight
And not let go until the dawn breaks

I wanna hold somebody up next to me
Get real close and feel their warmth
But it can't be just anybody
Can I hold you
Can I hold you
Can I hold you
