Lyrics:

I was working on a plan

To disappear completely

Gaslighting my friends

Into thinkin’ I was busy

Cause if drinking was a day job

I’d be asking for more money

Hell, I never take a day off

And I’m always selling something

Headlights, your plates

4CB3A

Didn’t know you drove American cars

Ray-Bans on your face

You’ve been drivin' all day

But you’re here and we’re so grateful you are

'Cause you’re gonna fix it

You’re gonna patch it up

'Cause honey we’re fragile

You've always been so tough

You know that I miss you

You always come running back

Whenever I ask

Whenever I ask

And I hate to drag you back here

But I think he's really lost it

He’s been sitting on the porch

Oh ranting like a prophet

And I can't stand the nights

Yeah, that dinner time silence

I cut the tension with a knife

And I pray you started drivin’

Headlights, your plates

4CB3A

Didn’t know you drove American cars

Ray-Bans on your face

You’ve been drivin' all day

But you’re home, and I’m so grateful you are

'Cause you’re gonna fix it

You’re gonna patch it up

Honey we’re fragile

You’ve always been so tough

You know that I’ve missed you

You always come running back

Whenever I ask

Whenever I ask

Make him talk

Make it stop

All I want

Is a dialogue

Or we’re drownin’ here

I’ve gotta stay for Mom

Make the house a home

You know how to talk

What you did back then

We would talk so much

And it’s fine we don’t

But can you come home

'Cause you gotta fix this

You gotta patch it up

'Cause baby we’re fragile

You always were so tough

You know that I miss you

You always come running back

Whenever I ask

Whenever I ask

You know that I miss you

You always come running back

Whenever I ask

Whenever I ask

Oh, whenever I ask

Oh, whenever I ask

Whenever I ask
