Safe and Sound
Journey of Love and Safety
Lyrics
You slept through the last small town,
You were asleep as we passed the last small town.
I'll wake you up when the next one comes around.
I'll wake you up when we reach the next small town.
Your eyes are closed, like you truly believe
Your eyes are closed, suggesting a deep trust or peace, believing that you are safe.
You're safe and sound with me
Reassuring the listener that they are safe and secure with the speaker.
No looking back, no turning into salt.
No regrets or dwelling on the past; avoiding a negative transformation, like turning into salt.
The city was crumbling but, baby, we're not to fault.
Despite challenges in the city, the speaker and listener are not at fault for the difficulties.
When things got too rough, I promised you we'd leave.
The speaker promised to leave when things got tough, maintaining their commitment to safety.
You're safe and sound with me.
Reiteration of the safety and security provided by the speaker.
You're safe and sound with me,
Repeated affirmation that the listener is safe and sound with the speaker.
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.
Reinforcing the idea that the listener will always be safe with the speaker.
The wipers clear the windshield of the rain.
Describing the action of the wipers clearing rain from the windshield.
My shirt sleeve dries your eyes the very same.
The speaker's shirt sleeve is used to comfort or dry the listener's eyes.
We fit together like the ignition and the key.
Comparing the compatibility of the speaker and listener to the ignition and key of a vehicle.
You're safe and sound with me.
Reassurance that the listener is safe and secure with the speaker.
You're safe and sound with me,
Repeated affirmation of safety and security.
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.
Reiterating that the listener will always be safe with the speaker.
You're safe and sound with me,
Further repetition of the idea that the listener is safe and sound with the speaker.
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.
Emphasizing that the listener will always be safe with the speaker.
The glove box light shines bright enough to see.
The light in the glove box is bright, symbolizing clarity or visibility.
You read the map like you were reading poetry.
The listener is skilled at navigating, reading a map with the elegance of poetry.
And it just might take you forever to see,
Suggesting that it may take time for the listener to fully realize their safety with the speaker.
That you're safe and sound with me.
Reiterating that the listener is safe and secure with the speaker.
