Correction Lyrics If I Just Ask Politely by Bears in Trees

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You tell me you're going to church in the morning
I'm sitting in the bath letting it all sink in
I wake up on a sofa and I walk out to your balcony
And I wonder if East Croydon would ever stop for me

[Chorus 1]
If I just ask politely
If I just asked or fell to my knees
If I just ask politely
Would it stop for me?

[Verse 2]
I know these walls won't lean in to guide me
To greatness or some greater fixation
I used to glue my sutures in a Sainsbury's basement
Too drunk on the floor

[Chorus 2]
We felt ageless and endless
You were my drunken salvation
And nothing really changеs, just the faces and the spacеs
Where our fingers interlock
Breathe it in, we pass it on
As we stare over this grave
Endless perhaps as my heart beats a rhythm
That my lungs cannot match

[Verse 3]
Someone's crying in the hall (What?)
But I don't really understand (What's going on?)
It turns the night from tragic
To songs about a wedding band

[Chorus 2]
We felt ageless and endless
You were my drunken salvation
And nothing really changes, just the faces and the spaces
Where our fingers interlock
We breathe it in, we pass it on
As we stare over this grave
Endless perhaps as my heart beats a rhythm
That my lungs cannot match

[Verse 4]
We wax lyrical
In late December
Freezing cold
Crouched around a campfire

[Chorus 1]
But I always wake up on your sofa
And I walk out to your balcony
And I wonder if East Croydon
Would ever stop for me

[Outro]
If I just ask politely
If I just ask politely
If I just ask politely
Would it stop for me?
