[Verse 1]
I wake up
Aching head of thoughts
Phone screen full of your missed calls
Hangover
Giving me false hope
Like maybe you still think of us
[Pre-Chorus]
If I ring as you're sleeping
Just pretend that I misdialed
Somewhere out there tryna get home
Yeah, if I ring and I've been drinking
Just pretend that I misdialed
'Cause I want you way more than you know
[Chorus]
Please don't hold me back if you miss me
Like the way I miss you laying here tonight
Don't act like it's easy
'Cause it's hard for me, yeah, when you're replying
Please don't hold me back
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me back
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me back
[Verse 2]
What if
I meant every word
I said to you late last night
It was 2 AM
And I was feeling hurt
Wishing you were by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
If I ring as you're sleeping
Just pretend that I misdialed
Somewhere out there tryna get home
(Somewhere out there tryna get home)
Yeah, if I ring and I've been drinking
Just pretend that I misdialed
'Cause I want you way more than you know
[Chorus]
Please don't hold me back if you miss me (Miss me)
Like the way I miss you laying here tonight
Don't act like it's easy (Like it's easy)
'Cause it's hard for me, yeah, when you're replying
Please don't hold me back
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me back
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me back
[Bridge]
Please don't
Back
[Chorus]
Please don't hold me back if you miss me
Like the way I miss you laying here tonight
Don't act like it's easy
'Cause it's hard for me, yeah, when you're replying
Please don't hold me back
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me back
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Hold me
I just wanna let you go, let you go
Please don't hold me

The second song Hayden and I pulled together is Hold Me Back [fact: it originally started as Please Don’t Call Me Back]. I’d written it in London with a great guy called Sebastien and it instantly just felt like it was Hayden to me. I shot the original over to him, he pretty instantly got back, took...
