Failsafe Lyrics by StarterKit

Starter Kit

2000

[Verse 1]
Perfect by design and far beyond repair
Being honest wouldn't get me anywhere
Staged it in advance and practiced every line
If the backdrop holds we must be doing fine

[Chorus]
From a distance I look smaller than you are
Closer than you think but I wouldn't go that far
When you pull your cord the parachute will fail
And I have yet to bail

[Verse 2]
Yes I lied on the exam and doctored the results
When the truth comes out I'll say it's not my fault
I followed in the steps of every know-it-all
Got away with using you to break my fall

[Chorus]
From a distance I look smaller than you are
Closer than you think but I wouldn't go that far
When you pull your cord the parachute will fail
And I have yet to bail

[Verse 3]
Spend my saving grace praying for a tie
Coming up too fast I almost passed you by
Losing by default a game I never played
By the time you read this I'll be miles away
