[Verse 1]
The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul

[Verse 2]
I'm ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
Been invaded
Without and within

[Chorus]
And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask
Asking you
Asking you if you might still want me

[Verse 3]
Once you said
I'm made of fine stuff
I've been corrupted
And taken enough
[Verse 4]
Now you appear
Making your claim
Inside my heart
Is the sign of your name

[Chorus]
And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask
Asking you
Asking you if you might still want me

[Bridge]
All these words
Like darling and angel and dear
Crowd my mouth
In a path to your ear

[Verse 1]
The way of the world
Has taken its toll
It's ravaged my body
And bitten my soul
[Chorus]
And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask
Asking you
Asking you if you might still want me

[Post-Chorus]
When I said
"I am bound to you forever"
Here's what I meant:
I am bound to you forever
