ANSWER ME BACK

You don’t have take my hand.
You don’t have to take my side.
You don’t have to meet my demands,
And you don’t have to take my advice.

You don’t have to make a retreat.
I swear you’re not under attack,
And you don’t have to be so sweet.
I want you to answer me back,

But when the sun brightens our room,
You bury your head under the covers,
As if the dark, silent night
Were the only safe haven for lovers.

You don’t have to be so cool,
But you don’t have to let me in.
You don’t have to make the rules,
And you don’t have to let me win

‘Cause I’m looking for some food for thought
To last me through the night.
Yeah, I’m looking for an equal,
And I’m spoiling for a fight,

And when the sun brightens our room,
You bury your head under the covers,
As if the dark, silent night
Were the only safe haven for lovers.

You don’t have to deal with this,
And you don’t have to catch my slack.
You don’t have to take my shit,
So why don’t you answer me back?

And when the sun brightens our room,
You bury your head under the covers.
I love the dark and silent night,
But it’s not the only place to be lovers,

And when the sun brightens our room,
I see your face, just for a moment.
Don’t be afraid to let in the day;
Our night before can never be stolen.
