I know that fan is moving air, I can see it in your hair
|
But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow
|
I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now
|
I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now
|
|
Salt is sweet upon my mouth
|
And dark throws sparks against my house
|
The state of love is a smudge on my brow
|
But you see through me and you can't fail me now
|
When you see right through me, you can't fail me now
|
|
I've bit off more than I can chew
|
It's something that I tend to do
|
When fewer words are what we need and how
|
Oh, you bite my tongue and you can't fail me now
|
I rant and rail but you can't fail me now
|
|
I've lost the thread among the vines
|
And hung myself in storylines
|
That tell the tales I never would allow
|
God knows the name of every bird
|
That fills my mind like angry words
|
But you know all my secret heart avows
|
|
We're taught to love the worst of us
|
And mercy more than life but trust me
|
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow
|
I live for yours and you can't fail me now
|
I live for your mercy, you can't fail me now
|
No, you can't fail me now
|

You Can't Fail Me Now
