too much to ask for Lyrics

I am not a good man

I've been bored and a wreck

Chasing the next thing that might stop me

From plummeting off the deck

And you say you are selfish

We all hold a candle to that

And my selfish need is to hold you close

I'm sleeping on your doormat

I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you pardon how I act like a fool

Our wings are molting so we hide from view

Each fallen feather's harsh glint like a jewel's

And I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you metamorphose

If I didn't have to stare at your spring-laden face

My heart rate might finally slow

You've seen my pride triumph

I've seen something divine

Even if I crushed a thousand roses

You won't lower your eyes from mine

Your wings are peppered with tears

Or maybe spots of brown

You've tried flying but you didn't like

How hard it was to come down

I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you pardon how I act like a fool

Our wings are molting so we hide from view

Each fallen feather's harsh glint like a jewel's

And I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you metamorphose

If I didn't have to stare at your spring-laden face

My heart rate might finally slow

This is what religion feels like

Artwork with peeling paint

This is what religion feels like

Tell me, am I a saint

This is what religion feels like

Artwork with peeling paint

This is what religion feels like

Tell me, am I a saint

I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you pardon how I act like a fool

Our wings are molting so we hide from view

Each fallen feather's harsh glint like a jewel's

And I hope this isn't too much to ask for

But could you metamorphose

If I didn't have to stare at your spring-laden face

My heart rate might finally slow

My heart rate might finally slow
