Jason Isbell - If You Insist Lyrics

If You Insist Song Lyrics
If You Insist by Jason Isbell Are you looking to be alone
Or can I sit with you awhile?
I don't want to be a stranger anymore
And you won't even have to smile

We can talk about the rain
How it can't seem to stop
Something stupid like the football game
Or I can tell you where to shop

We're running out of options
It's time to close the tab
If you insist on being lonely
Let me put you in a cab

Are you looking for something easy?
Do you need to feel alive?
Do you crave a love that tears through your life like a Category 5?

My momma spent every day alone
In a house with noise and names
She got so tired of putting out fires
She just laid down in the flames

We're running out of options
I've told you all my jokes
If you insist on being lonely
Can you leave a couple smokes?

I could lie to you all night
Say I saw you in a dream
We don't have to get to know each other better
Let it be just how it seems

I won't ask you for your number
Don't even need to know your name
I'm too tired to get excited
And I'm too old to be ashamed

We're running out of options
I'll give you time to think
If you insist on being lonely
Let me leave you to your drink

We're running out of options
I'll wait outside the door
If you insist on being lonely
I might wait a minute more
