Lyrics
I quit looking for love in a spark
I stopped seeking love impulsively.
For a moment of tenderness
For a brief moment of affection.
You pay with the dark
Intimacy comes with its share of darkness.
And I wish I could forget all the names
I wish to forget the people who pretended to be different but left me feeling the same.
They claimed they were different
They claimed uniqueness but were ultimately similar.
But left me feeling the same
Leaving me with a familiar sense of disappointment.
Then you woke me out of my sleep
You woke me from my slumber.
Holding my breath in the deep
While holding my breath in the deep.
Didn't want to pass you by
I didn't want to overlook you.
But scared to get lost in you and I
But I feared losing myself in our relationship.
The walls I was hiding behind
The walls I used to hide behind collapsed.
They crumbled as I saw in time
Revealing vulnerability over time.
Just like a lullaby you'd get me through the night
Like a comforting lullaby guiding me through the night.
Safe never thought I'd feel safe
Unexpectedly, I feel safe.
In the arms of a lover running from danger
Secure in the arms of a lover fleeing from danger.
Afraid I would break
Fearful of breaking, but you provide safety.
Safe yeah you make me feel safe
You make me feel safe.
And it's all on the line but with you it's a risk that I'm willing to take
Despite the risks, I'm willing to take a chance with you.
Look past my reactions
Look beyond my immediate reactions.
You don't care what happened
You don't judge me for what happened.
Without a word
Even without words, I feel understood.
I know yeah I know I'm heard
You hear me.
The chaos that I kept inside
The internal chaos I harbored.
You turned to the calmest of tides
You transformed into the calmest of tides.
And every day goes by
Every passing day diminishes hidden scars.
Leaves one less scar to hide
Feeling safe is a new experience.
Safe never thought I'd feel safe
In the arms of a lover, danger is escaped.
In the arms of a lover running from danger
Fearful of breaking, but you provide safety.
Afraid I would break
You make me feel safe.
Safe yeah you make me feel safe
Despite the risks, I'm willing to take a chance with you.
And it's all on the line but with you it's a risk that I'm willing to take
Feeling secure is reiterated.
Safe ooh ooh safe
Repetition of the assurance of safety.
Safe ooh ooh safe
More emphasis on the concept of safety.
Safe safe
Reiteration of the idea of safety.
The part of me I left behind
A part of me that I abandoned.
Never thought that I would find it
Unexpectedly found what was lost.
And though you hide it
Despite attempts to hide it, I see your wounds.
I see the wounds where you bleed
I'll gradually mend every piece of you.
In time I'll mend every piece
Nowhere is safer for you than with me.
There's nowhere safer for you than me
Reassuring the safety I provide.
Safe don't you know that you're safe
A declaration that the person is safe.
I'll be more than a lover
I'll be more than a lover, protecting you from danger.
Keep you from danger
Assurance that we won't break.
And no we won't break, no we won't break no
Reiteration that the relationship is resilient.
Safe don't you know that you're safe
Emphasizing that the person is safe.
And it's all on the line but with you its a risk I'm willing to take
Despite the risks, I'm willing to take a chance with you.
Safe safe safe I'll keep you I'll keep you safe
Final reassurance of safety.
