Safe & Sound

frente

safe form you

shape

read her name to me,

just one young girl and her tragedy following her

fists and threats,

he forgets they were the world, and he is misery

and when she sings her beauty stings his eyes are like a curse and hers

are permanently blue

we can keep her safe from you

we can keep her safe from you

just one drink

makes you think how great your friends can be

wakes up a world where he cant be

here he comes

something dumb with loaded fingers and thumbs

she clings to my arms

and i cant give her the strength to live in the second before the people become

a corridor for two

we can keep her safe from you

we can keep her safe from you
its true

and in a black back street with the back of your hand

now were over understanding

how a guy like you gets born

theres only one of you

we can keep her safe from you
