Why Ask? Songtext
von Look to Windward

Why ask?
Why ask it′s always yes
All of the time
Why ask?
Why ask it's always
Handled as an alibi
For genuine concern
Pick it up tomorrow
When night resets all
All of your secrets
Out in the open peripheral view
Say words that comfort me
Say words that comfort you
Say words that disappear
Say what will bring about the dawn
Why ask?
Why ask I′m always fine
All of the time


It's not for you to say we're friends
We′ll argue all through the day but then

All we want
Filling up the void
Mistaken by gesturing
With karma and the rising sea
All we want
Looking for a cue
Balanced on tender nerve
A tightrope of concern for you
All we want
Killing for the curve
Of fastest descent to see
Permission isn′t earned for free

Well it's not like you to be this late
Oh, surely you know what is
At stake


Why ask?
Why ask you know the shame
From all of your lies
And you can′t get it out of your eyes
Why ask me where I'm from
While staring at the sun?
It′s blinding
And I'm blinded
′Cause I cannot remember your name
They tend to escape me
Like sugar is poured on my hand
It filters so quickly
The few that remain in my hand
Are sweeter for staying
Syrup and salt how they blend!
Seasons our call

All we want
Filling up the void
Mistaken by gesturing
With karma and the rising sea
All we want
Looking for a cue
Balanced on tender nerve
A tightrope of concern for you
All we want
Killing for the curve
Of fastest descent to see
Permission isn't earned for free

We wave across the street
Not close enough to meet
