Waiting here for someone Only yesterday we were on the run You smile back at me and your face lit up the sun Now I'm waiting here for someone And oh, love, do you feel this rough? Why's it only you I'm thinkin' of? My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight Tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet That's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Someone's moving outside The lights come on down the drive I forget you're not here when I close my eyes Do you still think of me sometimes? And oh, love, watch the sun comin' up Don't it feel fucked up we're not in love? My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight And tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet That's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight And tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight And tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet That's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? That's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? That's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask?
