Lyrics
If I get lost along the way to meet you
If I encounter difficulties on the way to meet you
If I'm more than a little late
If I'm significantly delayed
If I get caught up in circles chasing my own tail
If I find myself stuck in repetitive patterns, chasing my own tail
If I trip up and fail you
If I make mistakes and disappoint you
If I let you down
If I fail to meet your expectations
If I let you down
If I disappoint you (repeated)
I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you
Acknowledging the emotional hurt that comes with the passing of time spent with the person
I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear
Attempting to justify or make sense of the growing fear
And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time
Describing dreams that inspire a song, driven by the pursuit of the end of time
And the grace that illuminates the past
Referring to the grace that brings enlightenment to the past
If I let you down
If I disappoint you (repeated)
If I let you down
-In the night the city's quiet
Describing the quietness of the city at night
From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds
Observing the moon rising high above the clouds from a rooftop
Just enough light to see our faces give expression
The faint light revealing expressions on faces and unspoken words
To the words we thought but didn't speak
Expressions to the words that were thought but not spoken
And then you asked me a question that I won't forget
A memorable question is asked
Even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means
The enduring impact of trying to live up to the question's significance
If I let you down
If I disappoint you (repeated)
If I let you down
-Don't let it break down
Encouragement not to let the relationship break down
Don't let it break down
Encouragement not to let the relationship break down (repeated)
Don't let it break down
