I Begged You Everything

(album: Bad Books - 2010)

We slept for close to seven hours
All the way to your dad's basket case
I didn't catch the final score
So I prayed that we'd sink a few more
And I didn't mind and you didn't seem to mind about me
But I was wrong
Who wouldn't fear to leave it all?
'Cause it's gonna come
It's gotta come

I am the widow, the spider king
There's web in your teeth and there's holes in the ceiling
And I wanted more, I left with nothing
Who's really lost and who's really winning?
I begged again, you said hello
For now, that's all I know

Now, I remember the exhaust and remains
A shallow shadow hung across my brand new drapes
And I gave my car away, down towards the post office
Man told me he needed it more
I believed him, went home and slept more
And that's what gets me sometimes
That's what struck me blind
And that's why there's no time
That's why I still try, and that's why...

I begged you everything
I begged you everything
Begged you everything, everything

Fuck am I supposed to do when you just lie your arms in mine?
Fuck am I supposed to do when you never lie about telling a lie?
So what was I supposed to do?
Just keep on trying through sleepless nights?
Fuck am I supposed to choose?
'Cause I begged you everything, everything

I can remember wishing that the season had lasted a little longer
It don't, and we die
If not me, then to my pride
If not now, then, tonight
If not, then, we just might give up trying
