[Spoken Intro]
This next song is, like, one of my favorite, favorite songs
And um, this song ended up coming off soul conversation that was so intimate
Even the way that I sang on the mic
It was like maybe the lowest and the quietest that I ever sang
But it felt, like, so personal
And I wanted it to feel like I was just whispering in somebody's ear
And the question is: What are we waiting for?
[Verse 1]
Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right herе
And tell you all that comes to me
And if you havе something to say
You should say it right now
(You should say it right now)
[Pre-Chorus]
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
[Chorus]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy?
If you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
[Verse 2]
I know you once said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
'Cause if we gon' do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(We should do it right now)
Bay, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
[Chorus]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy?
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me, I'm ready
(I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
Yeah, yeah
[Interlude]
My favorite part is this bridge
Because we sat and we talked about what this meant for a while, you know
We spoke about, like, why give up before we try
So many times — how many times have we just count ourselves out before we even give it a chance?
You know, why give up before we try?
Feel the lows before the highs, you know
We — everybody does that, I do that
Clip our wings before we fly away
We sat there and spoke about this bridge for a long time
To really get, like, that feeling, that feeling, yeah, uh
So this bridge is like my favorite in this song, I love where it goes
Say, say, say
[Bridge]
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away (Fly away)
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
[Chorus]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy?
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
Yeah, if you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
Oh yeah, if you ask me I'm ready
(I'm ready)
If you ask me, I'm ready
(I'm ready)
