Safe
from Portraits by Timothy Armstrong
lyrics
Safe
Back at the start, before we fell apart
We were so certain it would last forever
But you broke our window pane, 1000 shards of glass
I’ve pieced them all back together
Before we fall asleep we take three with water
In a certain order
So that when we wake up we think ‘success‘
Instead of ‘we should have just stayed in bed’
I crossed the void, I crossed the night out
I left the fabric of space in tatters
So don't feel blind anymore
Just set your eyes to the score
At the end of every day Its you who I remember
Did you see me walk by
Was I put in my place
Lets thank our lucky stars we are safe
Back at the start, before we fell apart
We were so certain it would last forever
But you broke our window pane, 1000 shards of glass
I’ve pieced them all back together
Before we fall asleep we take three with water
In a certain order
So that when we wake up we think ‘success‘
Instead of ‘we should have just stayed in bed’
I crossed the void, I crossed the night out
I left the fabric of space in tatters
So don't feel blind anymore
Just set your eyes to the score
At the end of every day Its you who I remember
Did you see me walk by
Was I put in my place
Lets thank our lucky stars we are safe
