You Can't Fail Me Now

[Verse 1] I know that fan is movin' 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 [Verse 2] Salty sweet upon my mouth And dark throws 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 You can't fail me now [Verse 3] Bit off more than I can chew Somethin' that I tend to do But fewer words are what we need and how You bite my tongue You can't fail me now I rant and rail, but you can't fail me now [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I lost the thread among the vines And hung myself in storylines That tell a tale I never would allow God knows the name of every bird It fills my mind like angry words That you know all my secret heart avows [Verse 4] We're taught to love the worst of us 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 [Outro] You can't fail me now You can't fail me now
