Joe Henry - You Can't Fail Me Now lyrics

rate me

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 throws sparks against my house

the stain of love is 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

I've bit off more than I can chew

its 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

solo

Bridge:

I've lost the thread among the vines

and hung myself in storylines 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

you can't fail me now

you can't fail me now
