Matt Nathanson - Mercy lyrics

rate me

I want a real love

to let me in

I want to zero out

and be born again

no more false starts and no dead ends

'cause I'm no shape

do to what's right

I see up as down and black as white

it makes me dizzy I come apart

all this love love love in the dark

Mercy mercy both hands

I need less drowning and more land

mercy mercy, understand

less drowning, more land, less drowning

Fire in the crowd

just to watch you move

tie your hands and demand a salute

all these gardens full of snakes and fruit

Its in the click click click

of the camera flash

its in the definite kick up in the fame ball blast

but they don't call and they don't last

and you're gone

outshined

Mercy mercy both hands

I need less drowning and more land

mercy mercy, understand

less drowning, more land, less drowning

Come on kill the light

leave it all behind

I'm right by your side, your side

Ignore the tick of time

put your hand in in mine

watch your...
