“Too Much to Ask” is the third single by Niall Horanoff his upcoming debut solo album, Flicker, coming in October 2017. It speaks from the perspective of a lover left without his loved one hoping they regret ending it too. This theme is quite common throughout Flicker, existing also in “Flicker”.
[Verse 1] Waiting here for someone Only yesterday we were on the run You smile back at me and your face lit up the sun Now I'm waiting here for someone
on the run - 走り回って、逃げ回って、逃亡[逃走]して
誰かを待っている Only yesterday we were on the run 君は微笑み返してくれて、君の顔は太陽を照らす 今はここで誰かを待っている
[Pre-Chorus 1] And oh, love, do you feel this rough? Why's it only you I'm thinking of
feel rough - 〔物の表面などが〕ザラザラする、肌触りが悪い 〈俗〉体調が悪い
この なぜ君のことしか考えていないんだ
[Chorus] My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight Tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet It's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask?
[Verse 2] Someone's moving outside The lights come on and down the drive I forget you're not here when I close my eyes Do you still think of me sometimes?
[Pre-Chorus 2] And oh, love, watch the sun coming up Don’t it feel fucked up we're not in love
[Chorus] My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight Tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet It's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask?
[Bridge] My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight Tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
[Chorus] My shadow's dancing Without you for the first time My heart is hoping You'll walk right in tonight Tell me there are things that you regret 'Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet It's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask?
[Outro] It's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask? It's all I'm asking Is it too much to ask?
