Calum opened up about this track recently on Twitter, stating “It’s about unrequited love for a guy who ended up not being gay – I still wanted to write it from a place of hope and optimism.”
[Verse 1]
What's on your mind?
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout last night
What's the time?
Feels like I've sat here all my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Your ship rolls in, I'm here waiting
I don't know why, I'm paralysed
Oh, what I'd do to be with you
Oh, what I'd give
[Chorus]
To hear you say that "I love you"
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I in this hotel room
And say that "I miss you"
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room
[Verse 2]
Couldn't work out why you gave me all those signs
So tell me now before I lose my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Your ship sails in, I am waiting
You stand close by, and watch me cry
Oh, what I'd do to be with you
Oh, what I'd give
[Chorus]
To hear you say that "I love you"
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I in this hotel room
And say that 'I miss you'
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room
[Bridge]
Hold out your hand
Give me a light in the dark
You know that I'm broken
Don't leave me here broken
[Chorus/Outro]
To hear you say that "I love you"
But hear it the way I do
There's nowhere to run tonight
It's just you and I in this hotel room
And say that "I miss you"
But say it the way I do
There's nowhere to hide tonight
My eyes can't lie, the way I feel for you
Just give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
Oh, give me a moment, it's all I ask of you
While I'm dying in this hotel room

This is heartbreak central. I was on the road in Korea, and I came across this guy. We got to talking and got on instantly. We hung out a bunch, which created this bond. I put the feelers out, I was getting all the signs back, like, “Oh, this might be ‘the one.’” I really genuinely thought I hit it...
I think it broke my heart a little bit. I put myself in a position where I was vulnerable, I put down my walls, and this guy led me on, it was awful. I didn’t wanna write “Oh, you led me on and you’re a dick” – I wanted to be a little more hopeful. So when we sat to write this one, I thought, in an...
