Next time, ask me to dance
And I will
Don't just ask me if I like the songs
People slow dance to
Cause when I hear those words
I have to read between the lines
And when I hear those words
I ask myself
Out of all their hands why mine?
Next time
Say you like my nails
And I'll believe you
Don't just say
That you're drawn to persimmon
When your best friends ask you
Cause when I hear those words
I have to read between the lines
And when I hear those words
I tell myself
You could never be drawn to mine
Your murky lines swirl in my mind
Yeah, every single word
I chew them up, I spit them out
My alphabet soup gives signs
I'm just not your type
I'm just not your type
I'm just not your type
So next time
Say you want me in your phone
And I'll be there
Don't just say
You like it better when they call
Instead of text you
Cause when I hear those words
I have to read between the lines
And when I hear those words
I tell myself
I could never be your lullaby
So next time
Ask me to dance
And I will
Don't just ask me if I like the songs
People slow dance to
