Mercy - Three Legged Fox

It’s no different than driving full speed down a sleeping boulevard

Reckless and stupid and one more thing we took too far

Or like bullets all the words you aimed and shot directly at my head

Front row to the hailstorm, at the middle of the end

I missed you by a week in Chicago

Ran you down in Tennessee

I’d never seen time move so slow

But that’s just what we did to me

And that’s why, you don’t drive the desert at night

And that’s why, I went left when I knew you were right

Mercy, mercy, mercy on me

Mercy, mercy, leaves some mercy for me

It’s like climbing the wall with no way of coming down

And this don’t mean a goddamn thing if you’re not around

Like slipping through my fingers into the faceless crowd

Like a hammer ten stories up, straight to the ground

I missed you by a week in Chicago

I gave up when the weather turned

I’d never seen time move so slow

And this is everything I learned

And that’s why, you don’t drive the desert at night

And that’s why, I went left when I knew you were right.
