Ask Me Now

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

Now 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

So 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 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

So ask me now and I'll run away with you

And so one morning just before dawn you came

And so with the dawn you've come

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

So ask me now and I'll run away with you

I will

Ask me now and I'll run away with you

Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile

Ask me now and I'll run away with you

Can I exhale and go into exile

Ask now and I'll run away with you
