Mercy
Mr. Little Jeans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kindness
If it's the easy way then
Take it away from me

Silent
You cause the wind caught on
Do save your apologies
Corrode into collide
Collide and don't look back
I told you and I tried
Severed(?) learn to fire back

No longer quietly shady
No longer sneaking late at night
A silhouette of a lady
Tailor-made tales into the light

Head down don't look around you
You've got too many enemies

Home bound
Beginner's luck ran out
One reason you're on your knees

Won't tell them what I know
Won't tell them what I saw
Got no more bricks to throw
Take or leave them make the call

No longer quietly shady
No longer sneaking late at night
A silhouette of a lady
Tailor-made tales into the light

Round round and round
Broken back from the fall
Ring ring go the sound
Back against every wall

Quiet before the storm
Cover as good as gone

No longer quietly shady
No longer sneaking late at night
A silhouette of a lady
Tailor-made tales into the light

Round round and round
Broken back from the fall
Ring ring go the sound
Back against every wall





(Your hands are tied)
