Andy Hawk & The Train Wreck Endings: Music
I Never Thought to Ask

Pat Holbrook, Andy Hawk
I looked into the places that I lost
And saw you sitting, counting out the cost
You think I sound just like I paid the price?
With all my luck, I’ll bet I’d lose you twice
I wondered if you’d let me in
And if you played the mandolin
Can I pass? / am I outclassed?
Well, I never thought to ask
You asked me up for coffee, I said no
“You know I don’t like coffee, gotta go.”
It took me years to figure out that scene
Now I drink my tea with coulda been
Did I avoid a tourist trap?
Could you draw a detailed map?
I’m not so fast / I failed the task
‘cause I never thought to ask
I lost you, walking through the dark,
Looking for a single question mark
I must’ve said, “I love you,” lots of times
Then I figured out you don’t read minds
I kept a thousand questions all subdued
If there’d have been a crowd they would have booed
Do you want to fool around?
Wanna merge our bank accounts?
You missed the pact / in my silent act
‘cause I never thought to ask
