Please Ask For Help Lyrics
I'm not gonna let you down, but I'm not gonna help you up.
It takes so long to turn me around when I think nothin could be wrong.
And then you can't hear me, and I can't hear you.
And then you wander downtown at a quarter to two,
With your head held low and not a thing to do.
You've gotta gimme some time with these ones and twos. Oh, oh.
You're like a puzzle that can't be solved, and some pieces never fill the gaps.
You got the salt and I got the wound, but all you gotta do is ask.
And there's a glimpse in your eye when you curl yourl lip.
And when you go shut the door I can't see shit.
And when you start I can't stop, nothin for me to grip.
And when I try to get away you always gimme the slip. Oh, oh.
Please ask for...
Please ask for...
Please ask for help.

Just heard this song. Now listening to it again and again.
For me, I think it's about two people that were previously in a relationships (on again/off again), and had strong feelings for each other. One of them is worried about their ex, but can't help them because their ex keeps shutting them out and won't talk about it. It could be one of them has moved on (and in another relationship), while the other one is still struggling with the breakup, can't move on and in sadness over not being with the person they love.
