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.
