[Verse 1]
Muse, sing to me
The story of a man who bailed on destiny
And prayed to the gods below
Split the ground, swallow me whole
Muse, sing through me
Of failure and of fear
For I know how it feels
Oh, to the dogs alike
Who am I to even try?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know when it's over
I won't know why I thought I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong, except everything
[Chorus]
For it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the sun
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the sun
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
[Verse 2]
Muse, oh, would you sing to me
Of anyone a mess like me
Try me!
Muse, sing to me
Tell me of a place where all of us can be
Oh, to the gods alike
All we need is a minute to breathe
[Chorus]
For it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the sun
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the sun
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
[Bridge]
All is beautiful and all is good
All the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room
All is beautiful and all is good
And all the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room
All is beautiful and all is good
And all the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high to the sun
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
I know when it's over (Oh, it's either a failure)
I won't know why I thought I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong, except everything
What could end if I never begin?
[Outro]
I know when it's over
I won't know why I thought I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong, except everything
All is beautiful and all is good
All the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room
