[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
