Ask me,
ask me again.
Ask me again if I care.
Ask me again if I’m there.
Push me for answers
that I cannot give.
I’m just trying to live.
Ask me.
Ask me again.
Have I gone
and run off with the wind?
Am I lost out at sea,
without a friend?
Ask me.
Ask me again.
Ask me.
Ask me again.
Am I too far gone?
Was I gone all along?
Was my smile just a way
of hiding my pain?
Ask me.
Ask me again.
Ask me,
and I’ll tell you it’s true,
if I
ever really
loved you.
Did I lie?
Did I cheat?
Did I steal?
Did I stray?
Ask me.
Ask me again.
I’ve been out losing
my mind to the game.
Striving and fighting for gain.
I’ve done a whole lot of wrong
along the way,
so ask me,
ask me again.
I’ve been trying to be
all that I can.
Returned from the sea,
riding the wind.
I’ve trying to be
what I’ve never been,
so ask me,
ask me again.
I’m not the same man
that I was back then,
so ask me;
ask me again.
