You Can't Fail Me Now

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 as sweet upon my mouth
 Dark throw sparks against my house
 The stain of love's a smudge upon my bride
 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've bit off more than I can chew
 It's something that I tend to do
 And fewer words are what we need and how
 You bite my tongue
 And you can't fail me now
 I ran too real
 But you can't fail me now
 I lost the faith among the vines
 And hung myself in story lines
 I 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 of vows
 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 bough
 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
