Ryan Tree Making Friends With Failure Lyrics

I heard they caught a ride
To the desert dreaming of a river flowin'
But the barren land was dry
It was only days 'til they got moving on
He told his kids and wife
They could live in paradise upon the shore
But it was all a lie
They were swallowed up left on the ocean floor

So why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

She threw her life away
But was it worth more than love and opportunity
(Oh no no no)
Her humble family
Was torn apart by the very one who bears her name
Her years of accolade
Were not enough to return them to her lonely grave
Now she disintegrates
Into a sea of human flesh and waves of clay

So why
Do the best intentions Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

Oh why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true (x2)

I met the strangest man
He said to take what you have learned and go with chance
Now here we are again
It's no mistake that failure makes me who I am
Failure makes me who I am

But why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue (devil blue)
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true

Oh why
Do the best intentions
Turn, turn, turn the devil blue
Cause I'm making friends with failure
Wondering if it all comes true (x2)
