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 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 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 Oh, you can't fail me now 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 We're taught to love the worst of us Mercy more than life but, trust me, Mercy's just a warnin' 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 You can't fail me now
