"If You Ask," a raw and bittersweet acoustic song, paints a picture of unrequited devotion.
lyrics
Lyrics:
I’d paint you yellow like the sun, and you would shine, shine so bright I’d close my eyes to look at you.
If I grew tall as the sky, and you were small as an ant, I’d walk slow as hell and never step on you.
If you ask, if you ask, oh there’s nothing I won’t do; if you ask, if you ask,
I’d say it screw it all for you.
I’d cover you in feathers and push you off the roof, and you would fly, fly home to Massachusetts.
And if I thought you would hate me, I wouldn’t do a thing; I’d hope one day you didn’t hate me.
If you ask, if you ask, oh there’s nothing I won’t do; if you ask, if you ask,
I’d say it screw it all for you.
I’d call off work on Tuesday, and drive a hundred hills.
I’d call off work on Wednesday, and take a hundred pills.
I’d call in sick on Friday, I’m hoping that you’re home.
I’d do anything to spend my weekend somewhere not alone.
If you ask, if you ask, oh there’s nothing I won’t do; if you ask, if you ask,
I’d say it screw it all for you.
