Lyrics

My folks they left the TV on
I was falling in love years before I ever met someone
Like a prayer you don’t expect an answer
Though you ask for one
Assured my love would come along
Like some rare bird and only I would recognize its song
Like the actress I’d seen on the television
With the stage lights on
What I found was a gamble
You threw yourself in with me
Made a cross and you lit a candle
But we were only
Strangers cornered in a dark room
Projecting slides of cozy lives on the wall
And in the light I thought I saw you
Or was it nothing at all
Of everyone I ever knew
I’m giving it all to you
And asking everything in return
I have nothing left to lose
I’ll get it back through you
I’ll take your offer
Each time I wake I’m still alive
Outlived my expiration date imagine my surprise
A backwards take on the book of Job
His life was wager and mine’s a joke
Give him what he wants he will never know
He’s tied up trying to let himself go
Of everyone I ever knew
I’ve gotten used to you
I’ve grown attached to you being here
Of everyone I ever knew
I learned to count on you
As my own fingers
