about

There's not a lot to say about this song. It actually has a fair amount of words, which is sort of different for my songs. In this episode, James finds out his lady is cheating on him so he ponders a romantic interlude with a long-term pen-pal named Anna. Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion of... "Bets and Betting"

lyrics

Second place is no place for the type of lady I prefer.
And in real-time a change is made to get specific points across.
The nights are shorter than you think.
I'm driving only to change lanes.
It's worth it just to have a chance to find out what I haven't had yet.
Will you call me out if I'm wrong?
Please don't stop on my account.
I'm letting go but they don't know.
We're better off this way.
Timing makes for great excuses.
I know better than to use this.
Look at this and tell me if it works for all your friends.
Everybody knows that I'm not half as good as I said I would be.
Believe me, I'm not the same as you wanted me to be.
There's too much pressure and I'm too outside.
Too much time has passed.
I'm betting I'm right.
Write to me and I'll write to you just as long as we both want to.
Meet me in a public place and we'll get out of there.
Read to me that correspondence back when we happened to start this.
Keeping this a secret we are living out the dream.
