Mercy Arms Songtext
von Birds of Tokyo

I can see cold machines, wires and tiny plugs
Telling you to breathe on time, helping you hold a pulse
If I could take away what′s got you lying still, under the chemicals
Believe me I will try
If you needed me I'll be like a sentinel
I can feel the frustration swim in your blood
I can see you′re still here
Your heart won't give up
(I'll keep the radio on, I′ll keep the radio on)
Everyday brings you closer to the grave
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
No more waiting for life to slip away
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
Stop with your deliberation
Is this your return to mercy arms?
You′re in a fight with time
It's pulling you limb from limb
Trying to test all you′ve got
How much you want to live
It sounded like you said something


Like "I don't want to go"
Then fight, save yourself
Even though you're not alone
You must do this on your own
There′s no one else
I can feel the frustration swim in your blood
I can see you′re still here
Your heart won't give up
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
Everyday brings you closer to the grave
(I'll keep the radio on, I′ll keep the radio on)
No more waiting for life to slip away
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
Stop with your deliberation
Is this your return to mercy arms?
(I′ll keep the radio on, I'll keep the radio on)
Is this your return to mercy arms?
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
I′ll wait till you wake up
I'll wait till you wake up
I′ll wait till you wake up
