Failure
Using the Guardian as a shield
To cover my thighs against the rain
I do not mind about my hair

Your jacket may be waterproof
But know in the moment you get home
You're gonna get those trousers changed

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal

I wish I could travel overground
To where all you hear is water sounds
Lush as the wind upon a tree

I wish I could travel overground
To where all you hear is water sounds
To capture and keep inside of me

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal

Failure is always the best way to learn
Retracing your steps until you know
Have no fear your wounds will heal
