If I'm more than a little late
If I get caught up in circles chasing my own tail
If I trip up and fail you
If I let you down
If I let you down
I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you
I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear
And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time
And the grace that illuminates the past
If I let you down
If I let you down
In the night the city's quiet
From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds
Just enough light to see our faces give expression
To the words we thought but didn't speak
And then you asked me a question that I won't forget
Even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means
If I let you down
If I let you down
Don't let it break down
Don't let it break down
Don't let it break down
If I get lost along the way to meet you If I'm more than a little late If I get caught up in circles chasing my own tail If I trip up and fail you If I let you down If I let you down I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time And the grace that illuminates the past If I let you down If I let you down In the night the city's quiet From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds Just enough light to see our faces give expression To the words we thought but didn't speak And then you asked me a question that I won't forget Even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means If I let you down If I let you down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down Don't let it break down Explain Request ×
