If You Ask

If you ask

I won't keep nothing from you

What good would I be to you

If I couldn't tell the truth

But there's a chance

That even while we're still dancing

The answer to what you're asking

Will split your heart in two

And the blue blue sky

Will be the only thing you find

On the other side of the night

Of the night

Look around

See all the buildings burning

Watch your surroundings

Turn from beautiful to plain

But don't get so down

There's no use shooting

All your arrows at the sun

It will all come undown

Before it gets a name

Before they even give it a name

And the blue blue sky

Will find a way to change your mind

Or pass you by

While you leave yourself behind
