Ask from Again! Again! by Mr. Sam & The People People

Take a look at the front door hanging open
Staring back with its slack-jawed crooked mouth
It speaks the winds of spring and winter
That can take you in and show you out

I take a look through my pictures from the summer
I haven’t taken a picture in a while
I stare at strangers while pretending
I’ve been waiting to see them for days and miles

They shouldn’t have to ask for what they want
But I’ll do it
I don’t have to
But I want to
That shouldn’t have to ask for what they need
At least if it were up to me

Now I’ve got a friend who feels discouraged
Said they were asking for something out of line
Let’s call them John or Jane or Perry
Let’s call them yours let’s call them mine

They shouldn’t have to ask for what they want
But I’ll do it
I don’t have to
But I want to
That shouldn’t have to ask for what they need
At least if it were up to me

You were saying it was not sentimental
Two stars got glued to the front of your car
Sometimes moving fast can feel so gentle
Sometimes who’s there knows who you are

They shouldn’t have to ask for what they want
But I’ll do it
I don’t have to
But I want to
That shouldn’t have to ask for what they need
At least if it were up to me
