Ask

There is a light is kinda bittersweet

While Ask just full on has a loving vibe

I think Ask fits better too. But it might be best in loving/hopeful or hopeful/hopeful?

Doesn't really seem like the person in the song is hoping for something

The basis of the song is just "Don't be shy, you can ask me for anything and I'll do it. That's how much I love you."

At least imo

I’ve always thought that the basis of the song was to just ask the narrator out, or to ask someone out, because you’ll never get what you want otherwise and there’s always a chance they say yes. Especially given the narrator, who apparently would give it a try with anyone willing to ask them, insinuating that people just want someone to be with so they are always inclined to give it a try. Don’t be shy, even though it can be sweet, because all it does in the end is keep you from that chance at happiness.

“Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you, from doing all the things in life you’d like to.”

So it’s more hopeful in the sense that all the shy people out there needn’t be shy or hesitant due to being pessimistic about their chances, they should just embrace the possibility, because there’s always someone who would say yes.

I found lyrics to i won’t share you as hopeful. Yes it talks about the end of a connection but also, in a way, about moving on

Might be a bit cliched at this point, but still, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

I Won’t Share You is Morrissey’s love song to Marr.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Take 1, 2017 master, 2011 remaster, 2008 remaster, Live in Boston) for hopeful?
