Half step down
Intro

Verse 1
Only one shadow on the wall,
Just one candle burning bright.
I hold your picture to my heart,
Im alone inside the night.
The Sun comes up in China,
The lights go on in Rome... oh.
Chorus
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold,
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone.
Oh, everytime you leave me a part of me goes too,
And half your world is waiting here for you.

Verse 2
I reach across an empty bed,
I hear your whisper in my ear,
But like the Sun without the Moon,
It's half a dream without you here.
The train that takes you from me
Brings somebody home... oh.
Chorus
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold,
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone.
Oh, everytime you leave me a part of me goes too,
And half your world is waiting here for you.
Bridge
Baby, the Earth stands still
When I'm lying next to you.
No matter where you go,
Our whole world's inside this room.
The Sun comes up in China,
The lights go on in Rome... oh.
Chorus
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold,
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone.
And everytime you leave me, my heart breaks in two.
And half your world is waiting here for you.
x 2
I'm waiting here...
I'm waiting here for you...
I'm waiting here...
