A song about deciding to walk away from a relationship instead of taking the chance (wagering) that you’ll be unhappy and/or lose yourself in it and in who your partner wants you to be.
Some might be saved by the gun
Some might just say it’s so easy
But I can't believe you will find my way home
Some find a case of hello
Some find disgrace is appealing then they see in the ashes a reason for hope
Some they just never move on
But I don't want to wait for the world to fall asleep
And baby I don't want to wager
I don't want to wager
No I don't want to wait for your promises to keep
I don't want a savior
I don’t want a savior
And some find their treasure in tears
Some they just fear the horizon so much they get sad and they decide to get clean
And some find their lover a friend
Some find a ghost is more comforting than a firm shoulder on which to depend
Some they just never move on
But I don't want to wait for the world to fall asleep
And baby I don't want to wager
I don't want to wager
No I don't want to wait for your promises to keep
I don't want a savior
I don't want a savior
Tonight It ain't open
Tonight it ain't free
I don't want to wager
I don't want to wager
No I don't want to wait for your words to come from me
I don't want to stay here
I don't want to stay here no more
Some find their day is so long
Some find an age can just pass them while they are still waiting to be and belong
Some find a way to just win
They stand by the mirror and tell themselves “Nothing and no one will get in my skin"
Some they just never move on
But I don't want to wait for the world to fall asleep
And baby I don't want to wager
I don't want to wager
No I don't want to wait for your promises to keep
I don't want a savior
I don't want a savior
Tonight it ain't open
And tonight it ain't free
I don't want to wager
I don't want to wager
No I don't want to wait for your world to come for me
I don't want to stay here
I don't want to stay here no more
No more
