Beautiful Failure
Charlton Pettus, Curt Smith
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
