we didn't ask for more

we didn't ask for more lyrics

Verse 1

I spent years on the edge
Waiting for a bigger sign
Held my breath for a change
Never said what felt like mine

I was counting all the gaps
Like they meant I was behind
But you were there in the room
And I kept my hands tied

Pre-Chorus

We were almost enough
Almost all the way
I kept asking the sky
For something I could name

Chorus

We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
What we had was real
What we had was sore
We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
Just your hand in mine
And a little less war
(we didn't ask for more)

Verse 2

You held on to the crumbs
Like they were made of gold
Took the coldest of rooms
And made them feel like home

I see now in your face
What I couldn't see before
You were never too little
You were just enough for sure

Pre-Chorus

We were almost enough
Almost all the way
I kept asking the sky
For something I could name

Chorus

We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
What we had was real
What we had was sore
We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
Just your hand in mine
And a little less war
(we didn't ask for more)

Bridge

Maybe love was the space
Between the things we knew
Not a perfect ending
Just a truth we could use

If I loved you well
Then I loved you poor
Still I meant it then
And I mean it more

Chorus

We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
What we had was real
What we had was sore
We didn't ask for more
We didn't ask for more
Just your hand in mine
And a little less war
(we didn't ask for more)

Outro

No grand final scene
No clean open door
Just you and me
Saying less is more
