Failsafe

Ready to roll
at the first glimpse of failsafe
Signing my checks
with a name that's not mine
Locking the hours that's spent round through the tail end [?]
Scolding those hills ahead
We both had a hand in it
You and me both cared
You and me both cared
Raising a flag
at the first sign of failsafe
Another red flag and
we've lost half the team
I left the game
to find you at the pavement
Scolding those hills ahead
We both had a hand in it
You and me both cared
You and me both cared
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
You and me both cared
You and me both cared
