“Don’t Ask Me” is a Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue, centered on themes of rejection, escape, and embodied freedom, carried by a humid, groove-driven dance-pop arrangement with intimate, close-mic vocals.
Clock says late, my body says now
Moonrise making promises it won’t allow
I come in heavy, I come in slow
But the bassline says
“Girl, let it go”
I checked conscience at the door
It’s not getting out on the floor
Tonight morality can wait outside
With my dignity and treasured pride
Don’t ask me why I’m moving like this
Don’t ask me what it means
My body found a rhythm I cannot hear
And is moving to the beat
Don’t ask me why I dance alone
I ‘ve got no clue, not a trace
It just feels good right now,
to be moving in my own space
If tomorrow wants a word with me
It can take a number, have a seat
No idea where I’m going
I’m just following my feet
Cares on the floor, sweat in my eyes
I lost my past, my plans, my alibis
All I need at this time, this place
Is a good back beat and a dancing space
Don’t ask me why I’m moving like this
Don’t ask me who I am
I’m not a picture, I’m not a story
I not a person you can diagram
Don’t ask me why, don’t ask me how
Don’t ask me what I want to do
If I forget myself for three damn minutes
That’s enough to aspire to
A pounding beat, I forget to care
If thinking shows up, tell it I’m not here
If tomorrow I think this was insane
I’ll catch my breath and do
it all again
Hey — who cares?
Hey — not me
Hey — What’s up?
Hey — I’m free
Don’t ask me why, it’s not that deep
Don’t make this freedom something sad
Tonight I’m just a moving body
Having the best time that I’ve ever had
Don’t ask me why, don’t ask me when
Don’t ask me what comes next
I’ll go back to being complicated
After I catch my breath
The lights come up, the music stops
Crowd starts moving toward the door
Ah hell… I can’t seem to locate my mind
I lost it on the dance floor
I lost it on the dance floor
