if i get lost along the way to meet you   if i'm more than a little late   if i get caught up in circles chasing my own tail   if i trip up and fail you   if i let you down   if i let you down      i can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you   i can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear   and the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time    and the grace that illuminates the past   if i let you down   if i let you down      in the night the city's quiet    from the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds   just enough light to see our faces give expression to the words we thought but didn't speak   and then you asked me a question that i won't forget    even if i spend my life trying to live up to what it means   if i let you down   if i let you down      don't let it break down   don't let it break down   don't let it break down
