My folks had 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
Like some rare bird and only I would recognize the song
Like the actors I've 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
In the light I thought I saw you
Was it nothing at all?
Of everyone I ever knew
I'm giving it all to you
I'm asking everything in return
and I have nothing left to lose
I'll get it back through you
I'll take your offer
It's time I wake and I'm still alive
Outlived my expiration date
Imagine my surprise
It's a backwards take on The Book of Job
His life was a wager and mine's a joke
Give him what he wants
He will never know
He's tired of 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've learned to count on you
As my own fingers
Of everyone I ever knew
I've gotten close to you
I've grown attached to you being here
Of everyone I ever knew
I've learned to count on you
As my own fingers
