When You Ask

I can't tell the truth
When you ask what I'm thinking about
I lie and say I don't know

It's quiet for too long in the car
You break the silence apart
And leave me with words I can turn
Over and over again

And I'm crumbling in the passenger seat
And I'm trying not to say something mean
You're taking off ninety
Turn to your right and I'm ruined

Planes going down in a frozen ocean
Standing so high up, the sky is a sea of white waves

I hate when the comedown hits
I'm wondering whether it's worth it
I can't tell where you end

It's bound to happen again
There are people I still haven't met
You have to see what you're doing
Over and over

And I'm crumbling in the passenger seat
And I'm trying not to say something mean
You're taking off ninety
Turn to your right and I'm ruined

I followed you, even though you don't know where you're going
I'll stay at your heel if you want me too
