What She Needs

Ask me to stay

Tell me to stick around a bit longer

And I won't go

I won't go home 

Tell me we don't have to be alone tonight

And tell me we'll be alright 

Ask me to stay

And I will

Tell me you need me

And I'll say the same

I'll unpack my bags

And change my plans 

If you ask me to stay tonight 

And it's just fine

If you need more time 

Before you decide 

Just

Eventually 

Some day

Ask me to stay

I'll unload my car

And find another job

I'll give you a hug

And never let you go

If you ask me to stay

I'll stay with you

Tell me you love me

And I'll believe you

Tell me you want me 

And tell me what you are too afraid to say,

That you need me 

Tell me that you need me

Don't buy me a mattress 

Where I am going

When we have a bed right here

Don't do that

Just ask me to stay here with you

Let me in 

All the way in

Let me tell bad jokes to your demons

And amplify who you want to be

And love who you are

Don't let me go

Ask me if we can make this place

Our home

You never asked me to take out your dog

And you never asked me to do the dishes 

You never asked me to make us dinner

And you never asked me to hold you when you needed it

I always just knew what to do . . .

So why should I expect you to ask me

When you've never asked for anything?
