lyrics

A drunken poet told me
“You don’t know what you’re doing”
He said it loud enough for the whole bar to hear. I said let’s try failure, my girl screamed Hallelujah And then we ran way under the moon

The stars have aligned and they’ve shown to be true And I don’t wanna let you go again
When you reach the high ground you end up looking downtown. You end up trying to find a place to go.
I’m stuck here on the inside
Just trying to find my own pride
Just trying to find a place to slide into

The one that you love might tear you in two
I don’t wanna let you go again
So let’s try failure.
Let’s try failure
I don’t wanna know how this is gonna go
You see i don’t think that I can love you anymore I can’t love you anymore
