Mercy

Grey skies
Dark days
Hold tight
It's OK, if you're feeling out of place

Growing up in a small house
I remember when the lights went out
Sending whispers across the room
Keeping secrets safe in the light of the moon

Waking up in a large life
More hours and space than a body could use
It's a long walk from yesterday
Turning out the lights just to spend a second with you

It's all coming back to me
Shouting words from the balcony
Charging into the blind faith
And the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started

Coming back to me
Like a long-lost melody
Growing up in the hard lane
Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're going make it

Oh, mercy, mercy
Oh, shine a light on me

Forgiveness, if I ever failed you
If I ever let my pride get in the way of the truth
I can still see us running in circles
No one who could stop us
You said, "There's nothing we can't do."

But we fell so many times
Our young teenage bodies all rattled and blue
It's a long walk from yesterday
Turning out the lights just to spend a second, just to spend minute with you

It's all coming back to me
Shouting words from the balcony
Charging into the blind faith
And the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started

Coming back to me
Like a long-lost melody
Growing up in the hard lane
Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're going make it

Coming back to me
Shouting words from the balcony
Charging into the blind faith
And the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started

Coming back to me
Like a long-lost melody
Growing up in the hard lane
Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're going make it

Oh, mercy, mercy
Oh, shine a light on me
