When All Else Fails
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm searching for something
That's so hard to find
I'm falling down mountains
I can't seem to climb
Driving down highways
That don't have an end
I can't find the sign, am I lost again
When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
I'm selfish and jealous
I'm proud and a fool
I'm walking with strangers
And strangers are cruel
I'm praying to gods
That I don't even know
I'm ready and willing
Where do I go?
When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
I know I might be mistake
But it's the chance I'm taking
I'm walking on the wire
I have been burned by temptation
I'm drawn into that fire
I'm lost in my desire
When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
(repeats)
