Safe

Lyrics

When I walked into the middle of the road I felt a strain from my heel to my toe But I stay safe now When I was young, I could celebrate I was small, I was brave, I could carry my freight But I stay safe now I'm poking my nose through the places where it shouldn't be I need to take a lay down I can't stand steady on these broken knees I could read at the end of my day It was a breath of ease that could blow away But I stay safe now And now they fall through the back of my head And all the lights I see shine yellow and red But I stay safe now Poking my nose through the places where it shouldn't be I need to take a lay down I can't stand steady on these broken knees Don't ask me why Don't ask me where Don't ask me when Don't ask me at all And I don't have the answers—not for now When I walked into the middle of the road I felt a strain from my heel to my toe Poking my nose through the places where it shouldn't be I need to take a lay down I can't stand steady on these broken knees Don't ask me why Don't ask me where Don't ask me when Don't ask me at all And I don't have the answers—not for now
