If You Ask Me

Song lyrics: If You Ask Me by Max Creek

You’re pushing me up, pushing me past the point
Not just a little fed up, I don’t need this two-bit disappointment

Put on a face that you like next time, don’t mess around with the bad example
Both of us knows where it stands in the background, I can see still my head is turned
Die by a rose in a tunnel of glory, die by the next guy’s knife instead
Both of us knows where it stands, the background, I can see still in my head

Protection, spread it in my direction
Watch closely, now you see it, now you don’t
Rejection, it isn’t so bad
Watch me while I go
Dance away from you

Tell me what’s up, tell me what is the stroke now
Do you set it all up, or just leave it burning debris and smoke

Taking my eyes like they’re yours to use, taking my lips and the thoughts I’ve spoken
One of us lies, the other listens, I can see still my head is turned
Die by a rose in a tunnel of glory, die by the next guy’s knife instead
Both of us knows where it stands, the background, I can see still in my head

Protection, spread it in my direction
Watch closely, now you see it, now you don’t
Indigestion, it isn’t so bad
Watch me while I go
Dance away from you

Can you face up? Can you turn back the page now?
It’s a way to end up, you don’t need this harlequin under-stage

Forty or more tried to master you, forty or more tried to make you master
One of the last and you turn your back, I can see still my head is turned
Die by a rose in a tunnel of glory, die by the next guy’s knife instead
Both of us knows where it stands, the background, I can see still in my head

We used to talk within the hours
Mine and yours became only ours
And I won’t let the love that we had die
I’ll dance away before I cry
