Had to Pay [live] (3:51)

Started out simple ’nuff
Cup of coffee here and there
Nickel and dime just to pass the time
For a girl from Kansas fair

You know how these things happen
A ribbon to a bow
New dress and shoes in tow

Then here’s me
Withdrawn in ripped jeans and
Stained tee
Still counting backwards and
Banged up love for you
If I had to pay

And here’s me
Thirsty but not caring
Retarded smile but here’s the thing
You’d be well to do
If I had to pay to think of you

Then one day over time
You’re in a chateau on the Rhine
Do you savor thoughts of me
Over good bread and better wine?

You know how these things happen
In your private jet over Sudan
Contemplating the economy of Japan

Then here’s me
Box on the off-ramp and
Spanging
My cardboard sign reads
Banged up love for you
If I had to pay

And here’s me
Hungry but not caring
Retarded smile but here’s the thing
You’d be well to do
If I had to pay
To think of you

Here’s me
I am bleeding through
I give you all- text and get nothing
I am destitute
Cause I’ve had to pay

Here’s me
I cannot pretend
That we are actually two-way friends
I’m moving on from you
I’m moving on from you
I’m moving on from you
