Someone Else's Bet - David Bazan

White light

Maybe time to go

Surrounded by all my love

Dozing off

Persuaded by

My mother’s fear

Deathbed sinner’s prayer

Fingers crossed

I will not lay in bed

With a wheel turning in my head

Trying to figure out the spread

Of someone else’s bet

Dinner’s on the table

Your mother’s at the door

Kids are watching TV

You never needed me more

You never needed me more

You never needed me more

Telephone is ringing

Bill collectors buy and sell

I may not be in heaven

But you’re in hell

Okay, I’ll lay here a little while

If you promise to run our history through my head

When my horizon flipped

Started making lists

And I’m never gonna rest in peace

In your debt
