about

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you

lyrics

Now she might have took my eyes first
But her light never burned like hers did
And the more you told me no
it got a little bit more cold
And when it finally froze around the world I slid
I met every girl worth meetin’
I passed every door worth passin’
Now I hope you can hear
what I’m about to tell ya
Cause Betty baby I’m not askin’

How come your family thinks that way
How come betty you don’t set ‘em right
How come you don’t tell ‘’em
about the letters I send you
That you read when they’re asleep by candlelight
I know you got a lot of questions
You think there’s no way this train isn’t crashin’
Well as long as it’s rollin’
I don’t care where it’s goin’
that‘’s why Betty baby I’m not askin’

I’m stepping off the platform at noon
I’m gonna meet you at the altar in the yard
And as you come walking down
the path between our families
I’ll scratch my head over how we got this far
over how the verdigris floods in the spring
over how the sky turns black and starts flashing
how miracle’s only a miracle
only If you don’t got the answers
that’s why so Betty baby I’m not askin’
