Beautiful Failure Lyrics by Curt Smith

Deceptively Heavy

2013

Beautiful failure
Sooner or later we’ll say so long
Unusual stranger
Counting the days until the tide runs out
We’re winding down

Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive
Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while
You’re a mile away

Beautiful failure
Growing in greater than the sum of your parting
Goodbye familiar alien
Huddled with strangers round the fire
Escaping the cold, don’t cry

Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive
Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while
You’re a mile away

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down comes cradle baby and all

Beautiful failure
Bolder and brighter than the sails
That take you away
