I Am Asking You To

It's hard to reconcile knowing what you know
And it sounds strange when you explain
To your childhood friends

No one should have to sleep alone so much
No one should work this hard just to keep in touch
No one as loved as you are should not feel loved enough

But I, I, I'm asking you to
I, I, I'm asking you to

We work ourselves into a rhythm then
Then I've gotta go
We don't have to wonder what the problem is
We already know

No one should have to sleep alone so much
No one should work this hard just to keep in touch
No one, no one as loved as you are should not feel loved enough

But I, I, I'm asking you to
Once again, I (I), I (I), I'm asking you to

I wake up and half your day's gone
I think I make up for it but I'm wrong
No one as loved as you are should not feel loved enough

But I (I), I (I), I'm asking you to
Once again, I (I), I (I), I'm asking you to
Once again, once again I (I), I (I), I'm asking you to
Once again I (I), I (I), I'm asking you to

(I, I, I'm asking you to, I'm asking you to)
(I, I, I'm asking you to, I'm asking you to)
