Kevin Devine - Safe lyrics

"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
