"Too Much To Ask [CD101 Oct 2007]" Songtext
von Arctic Monkeys

The smiles as she walked in the room
Have all turned into frowns, am I too quick to assume
That the love is no longer in bloom?
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune

To what they did before, her head′s red raw
And the ending doesn't sound like the happiest around
When you sobbed before
It felt much more like the product of a squabble
Now there′s reason for it to be something more
And there would be


Oh, it's uncertain whether the curtain has
Shut for good, she says "See, if it's still rainin′, I′m not dressed for it and
If you loved me"
And I interrupted, received a scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there

Would it be outrageous to say
We're either shouting or we′re shagging, docked in tempestuous bays?
At least that's how it felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier and whether you′re asleep or awake
Is a mystery

Would a kiss be too much to ask?
When you fit me as Sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It′s a pity
It just hit me, we can't go back
To the chest touching on the back
