(Tegan's POV)
We had played through 'Tripping Over Air' and 'Never Be' and were going to play the rest of our set. That consisted of 'Mercy' and 'Somebody To You' and this was our first time playing both songs live.
"Okay you guys, we have two new songs for you tonight, and we will be real with you guys, this is our first time ever playing these songs for an audience. I don't know about the boys, but I'm super excited!" I said to the crowd. "This first one is called Mercy, and it's one of the first songs I wrote completely on my own, and I think you all are going to like it."
Tegan: You've got a hold of me, Don't even know your power, I stand a hundred feet, But I fall when I'm around ya
Luke: Show me and open door, Then you go and slam it on me, I can't take anymore, I'm saying, baby, Please have mercy on me
Luke and Tegan: Take it easy on my heart, Even though you don't mean to hurt me
Tegan: You keep tearing me apart, Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Luke: I'd drive through the night, Just to be near you baby, Heart open, testify,Tell me that I'm not crazy, I'm not asking for a lot, Just that you're honest with me
Tegan: My pride is all I got, I'm saying, baby, Please have mercy on me,Take it easy on my heart
Luke and Tegan: Even though you don't mean to hurt me
Tegan: You keep tearing me apart
Luke and Tegan: Would you please have mercy on me
Tegan: I'm a puppet on your strings, And even through you got good intentions, I need you to set me free, Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Tegan: Consuming all the air inside my lungs, Ripping all the skin from off my bones, I'm prepared to sacrifice my life, I would gladly do it twice
Luke: Consuming all the air inside my lungs, Ripping all the skin from off my bones, I'm prepared to sacrifice my life, I would gladly do it twice
Tegan: Oh, please have mercy on me, Take it easy on my heart
Luke, Alex, Reggie and Bobby: Take it easy on my heart
Tegan: Even though you don't mean to hurt me, You keep tearing me apart
Luke, Alex, Reggie and Bobby: Tearing me apart
Tegan: Would you please have mercy on me? I'm a puppet on your string
Luke, Alex, Reggie and Bobby: Puppet on your strings
Tegan: And even though you got good intentions, I need you to set me free
Luke: Would yo please have
Tegan: I'm begging you for mercy, mercy, I'm begging you, begging you, please, baby I'm begging you for mercy, mercy, Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you
It felt good to finally put this song out there after writing it and keeping it really to myself. I don't know if my mom and sister put two and two together about the meaning behind the song, but it didn't matter to much.
