If All Else Fails Songtext
von Big Wreck

Well, that first dance in retrospect
Just two young lovers was taken as a slight or disrespect
They cased them from across the room
Their uniforms and unfiltered cigarettes were so in tune
While the rest of us would empathize
The rest of us could see behind their eyes
An escape, it would be wise

Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
Till it all blows up (It all blows up)


Well, at first light they got away
By all accounts they left no trace, the dogs found no trace
Here, keep this baby safe with the rings
One keepsake, a picture of your face
Your face
Oh, we found ourselves out at the edge
Of the fields and rolling hills I used to play
Oh, now they′re scorched away

Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
Till it all blows up (It all blows up)

We're still in denial (We′re still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past denial (So far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?

Through the bar code made of oak and pine
Through the landscape laced with mines
They ran, they're still on the run today

Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
Till it all blows up (It all blows up)


We′re still in denial (We′re still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past denial (So far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?
