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



Salt is sweet upon my mouth

and dark throws *sparks* against my house

the state of love is a smudge upon 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

its something that i tend to do 

when fewer words are what we need and how

I bite my tongue and you can't fail me now

I rant and rail but you can't fail me now



solo



Bridge:

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
