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... I'll wait 'til you wake up...
