RYAN STATES: Music & Lyrics
ASK ME TO STAY
(RYAN STATES)
The song ends with the sun piercing over the skyline-horizon and overcomes the song.
[monophonic sine wave solo]
playing with you
in darkness
slide your hand
‘cross my chest
we’ve both come
here we lay
you doze off
and I watch you
no promises
no expectation
laying inside
surrounding you
ASK ME TO STAY
ANOTHER MINUTE
BEFORE THE SUN
WAKES THE CITY
ASK ME TO STAY
ANOTHER MOMENT
BEFORE IT’S DONE
AND I MUST LEAVE
[4 bar instru interlude]
so generous
in darkness
I came first
you watched me burst
your turn came
it was the same
there’s no talking
only loving
no promises
no expectation
laying inside
surrounding you
ASK ME TO STAY
ANOTHER MINUTE
BEFORE THE SUN
WAKES THE CITY
ASK ME TO STAY
ANOTHER MOMENT
BEFORE IT’S DONE
AND I MUST LEAVE
I promise I wasn’t
trying to score
I was leaving
but stayed for more
Do that again
what you did with your mouth
using your hand
as it moves south
chorus: repeat 2x (2nd time with vox distortion)
[extended instrumental outro]
