If You Ask

(album: Fireflies - 2005)

Well I've come to know the look on your face
When you're lying about where you've been
Or how much you spent

I know when you will raise your fingers
To your mouth as if to wipe away the shame
It's not a game I know you feel bad

If you ask for my forgiveness
If you call my name I will come
If you ask for my love I will give you some

Someday I know you will understand
Someday you'll finally realize
What you're doing to yourself

If you ask for my forgiveness
If you call my name I will come
If you ask for my love I will give you some

We've been dancing to
That same old song over and over again
I wanna be your lover
I don't wanna be your policeman

So tonight when you finally make
Your way back to our door
I'll let you sleep it off like I did the night before

When you ask for my forgiveness
When you call my name I will come
When you ask for my love I will give you some

In the morning I will get you up and
I will smile just when you want me to
'Cause I'm, I'm all you have
