If I Had to Bet

Our love isn't new
But still bears things to reveal
Reading poems in the park
Sharing songs behind the steering wheel

But I can't help but notice
Your sad, reminiscent grin
When you lend me a book and
Tucked inside is a picture that she's in

And I wonder
Do you still wonder
And I wonder
Do you still want her

So many questions I'm far too scared to ask
Do you ever catch yourself thinking about her laugh
Do you fantasize 'bout what life might be like
If she'd stayed and said yes

Are you holding on to the memories she left
'Cause she's somebody that's easy to forget
I don't know what I'd put my money on
If I had to bet

I know enough
To fear my sister in sex
Like how you like how she tasted
After sipping on your cigarette

Oh, a punctual princess
Keeping perfect time
But I'm a melody girl
Can't keep my rhythms or my calendar
In a straight line

And I wonder
Do you still wonder
And I wonder
Do you still want her

So many questions I'm far too scared to ask
Do you ever catch yourself thinking about her laugh
Do you fantasize 'bout what life might be like
If she'd stayed and said yes

Are you holding on to the memories she left
'Cause she's somebody that's easy to forget
I don't know what I'd put my money on
If I had to bet

Everything you share with me
You gave her once before
The thoughts in your head
Your address and your bed
The jacket hanging on your door

Oh, this heart of mine is drunk on your wine
And content to keep drinkin' away
But when you're reminded of your long-ended love
I wonder
If you'd have it another way

And I wonder
And I wonder
Do you still want her

So many questions I'm far too scared to ask
When I think I see you rememberin' her laugh
When you fantasize 'bout what life might be like
If she'd stayed and said yes

I get jealous of memories she left
'Cause I don't wanna be easy to forget
I don't know what I'd put my money on
If I had to bet

Oh, if I had to bet
Oh, if I had to bet
