I can see coal machines, wires and tiny plugs
Telling you to breathe on time, helping you hold a pulse
If I could take away what’s got you lying still under the chemicals
Believe me I will try
If you need me I’ll be like a sentinel
I can feel the frustration swim in your blood
I can see you’re still here, your heart won’t give up
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
Everyday brings you closer to the grave
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
No more waiting for life to slip away
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
Stop with your deliberation
Is this your return to mercy arms?
You’re in a fight with time, it’s pulling you limb from limb
Trying to test all you’ve got, how much you want to live
It sounded like you said something like I don’t want to go there and fight
Save yourself, even though you’re not alone
You must do this on your own, there’s no-one else
I can feel the frustration swim in your blood
I can see you’re still here, your heart won’t give up
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
Everyday brings you closer to the grave
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
No more waiting for life to slip away
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
Stop with your deliberation
Is this your return to mercy arms?
(I keep the radio on, I keep the radio on)
Is this your return to mercy arms?
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
The return to mercy arms
I’ll wait 'til you wake up
I’ll wait 'til you wake up
I’ll wait 'til you wake up
