Safe Songtext / Lyric

"You can't hurt me forever, James

If that's what you're trying."

Your mother, the Capricorn,

Warned your father, the Lion



While you from your bleacher seat

Texted, "Hey Brian

I'm changing my mind again

I wanna get violent



So come take me there

The quiet space

9 o'clock

I won't be late

I won't let you wait for me

I'm hungry now

Let's eat"






So used to the false alarms

It felt like a fire drill

The barn burned, the beams collapsed

But I slept, completely still



I dreamt of a coffee shop

You in your winter hat

Wet snow about your crown

It's weird I remember that



And your eyes were red

You never slept enough

Said "I can't lose you yet

Honey, please wake up"

That's why I'm alive today

You dragged me out

I'm safe

I'm safe

I'm safe

I'm safe
