Failing That (Norwood - 2024)
It's gonna take more than a little of your time
Something stronger than just saying that we'll try
A big to-do, mountain-moving, shooting high
Might have to act instead of talk
And maybe run instead of walk
An undertaking bigger than a country sky
Failing that
I don't see how this thing survives beyond the now
The breach is fixed, patched up for today
But honey, there's got to be a much much bigger play
Failing that, oh, what's the use
It's gonna take more than a break, more than a truce
Failing that, oh failing that, nothing else will do
Is the juice not worth the squeeze to you, my love?
Do you give up when pushing harder comes to shove?
I bet we're worth more than a movie and a fuck
Might have to act instead of talk
And maybe run instead of walk
Being ride-or-die takes more than just dumb luck
Failing that
I don't see how this thing survives beyond the now
The breach is fixed, patched up for today
But honey, there's got to be a much much bigger play
Failing that, oh, what's the use
It's gonna take more than a break, more than a truce
Failing that, oh failing that, failing that, oh failing that
Honey what's the use?
