Contingencies Lyrics

If I had prayed

To see you again

I would have frayed

The cord

Of the rosary

It was time

To let you go

But I won't

Well I played

Guitar badly

Drunk, insecure,

And in love

I gave her my heart

Or what I thought

My heart might be

There's a long

Line of women

That I've loved,

Or well at least

That line felt long

I've measured myself

Against that line

Now I want

To believe

In truth,

Or something that

Looks

Like

Truth

And I want

To remain

In youth,

Or something that

Tastes

Like

You

Well I prayed

She would be impressed

By the way

I cared

About nothing

She wasn't impressed

She had the good sense

To place me back
