Sometimes I'd rather run and hide
If you take me up, I won't say no
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
Sometimes my head is hangin' low
It's time to get on with the show
At the mercy
If you show me love, I won't refuse
At the mercy
We can watch the universe explode
Between the love I got
I guess you'd rather see me go
At the mercy of a busy day
Than stay and face the fear inside
Who can bare to turn their head away?
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
Than the one you know
We can think of nothin' more to say
At the mercy
Until a better man
I know, you'd never make me choose
At the mercy of a busy road
At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
At the mercy
And the love I'd lose
Who can handle such a heavy load?
