Blindside Album: The Great Depression Track: Ask Me Now
Ask Me Now Lyrics
And so one morning just before dawn You came Out of the forest towards my window With a smile in Your hand As the moist air up to Your knees started swirling like smoke I saw Your lips move Asking: Did you lose something I stood glued to the window
Emotions running through my vein How I know a word I can't explain
I think I've known you all along Just lost Your face in the crowd for awhile I think I have been holding my breath all my life Can I exhale and go into exile Ask me now and I'll run away with You
And so with the dawn You've come Eye to eye with nothing in between but this fragile glass Your lips move again I try but I can't detect the vibrations in the air How I've longed to inhale Your breath It's still early and I see your words getting caught In the window slowly turning into frost
I see Your hand move and I can't detain Scraping down a word I can't explain
I think I've known you all along Just lost Your face in the crowd for awhile I think I have been holding my breath all my life Can I exhale and go into exile Ask me now and I'll run away with You
Song Description: 'There are parts of this record that are very broad in view. There are also parts that are very personal that focus on the relationships that help to connect us.' - Christian Lindskog (Blindside)
