  • 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 thrwos sparks against my house
    The stain of love's a smudge upon my brow.
    But you see through me
    And you can't fail me now,
    You see right through me
    And you can't fail me now

    I bit off more than I can chew
    It's something that I tend to do
    When fewer words are what we need and how
    You bite my tongue
    And you can't fail me now
    I rant and rail
    But you can't fail me now

    I lost the thread among the vines
    And hung myself in story lines
    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
    And you can't fail me now,
    You can't fail me now.
