You turn to me I say, "What's there to talk about?" Over fifteen years we've talked about it all I've learned to be as alone as together means Because we bring me down And I drive you up the wall If you've got the mind to leave Then pick a topic to talk about God knows I've time to give You've got the backbone to stick around Eternity I don't quit when the bets are down I'm a careful man, but I'd lose it all for you A word to me Is enough iron to keep the peace I can ruin a day, and I know I do, I do If you've got the mind to leave Then pick a topic to talk about God knows I've time to give You've got the backbone to stick around If you've got the mind to leave (Worse or something better) Then pick a topic to talk about (Health or heavy weather) God knows I've time to give (Take your car at midnight) You've got the backbone to stick around (Loopholes in the headlights) A foolish dream Sell the house but still keep the home You know kids grow up And they'll pin the blame on you I know the theme Luck has never been into me I'm a catch to pain And you dress the scars for proof If you've got the mind to leave Then pick a topic to talk about God knows I've time to give You've got the backbone to stick around If you've got the mind to leave (Worse or something better) Then pick a topic to talk about (Health or heavy weather) God knows I've time to give (Take your car at midnight) You've got the backbone to stick around (Loopholes in the headlights) Worse or something better Health or heavy weather Take your car at midnight Loopholes catching light Angels head to toeing Bad blood overflowing Dawn in your sister's kitchen She never trusted him You'll get your weekday evening Handshakes, close to freezing Bad cop pinned to your heart Grace is a dying art Nobody cares if you've got time to give No, nobody cares if you've got time to give Nobody cares if you've got time to give It's just an endless hole that you're falling in
