Feet Don't Fail Me Now
Foxes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
So, feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
You're all I got

You were all my riches
Spent my love 'till there was nothing left
You were all my sickness
But you cured me of my loneliness

And our love fades
Nothing left here to say
The ghost of us is fading
And that's what I was chasing
I got faith, saying it'll be okay
Step by step, I know I'll make it through

So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Oh, no, nothing's gonna bring me down
So I gotta reach out
There's a way out
Praying, feet don't fail me now
You're all I got

Hey
Hey
Second chances
Don't come easy like they did the first time
All the neighbors
Knew it was done before you and I

And now love fades
Nothing left here to say
The ghost of us is fading
And that's what I was chasing
I got faith, saying it'll be okay
Step by step, I know I'll make it through

So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Oh, no, nothing's gonna bring me down
So I gotta reach out
There's a way out
Praying, feet don't fail me now

Take what you want, babe
Take what you need, babe
You can have it all, but you can't have me

So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Praying feet don't fail me now

Don't fail me
Don't fail me
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
Don't fail me
Don't fail me
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
You're all I got
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
You're all I got

Feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now




Don't fail me now
You're all I got
