We Think

Lyrics

[Chorus] We think the air is safe to breathe here We think the water's safe to drink [Verse 1] It was just a Sunday morning, we came together lying there in bed Colours painted in the hallway, the sheet across your body held you there You asked me without thinking, you watched me from the corner of your eye Can we go swimming, darling? Can we go diving deep into the light? [Verse 2] You came to us in winter and what awaited you was never clear A thousand voices speaking, a thousand voices singing in your ear I told you that you matter, I told you that you're brave and fair and strong They'll say the sky is falling if it keeps you staring back for long enough For long enough [Chorus] We think the air is safe to breathe here We think the water's safe to drink, ah We think the words are safe to read here We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah [Verse 3] Try not to show you, try not to make it seem as though I was just terrified, listening awake each time you go I'd lie down gladly, underneath the belly of a train I can't keep the river from the shore, can't keep you dry each time it rains Each time it rains [Chorus] Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do (We think the air is safe to breathe) Do-do-do-do, do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do (We think the water's safe to drink) Do-do-do-do, do-do-do (Ah) We think the words are safe to read here (Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do, do-do-do We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah (Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do, do-do-do [Bridge] It was a desert when I was a child Street lights and car parks and blood on our minds If I ever wanted, I wanted for less And with these thousand cuts, it's the least you could get It was forever, but never like this Drink from the hydrant, it's hard to resist Hope against hope and you had me convinced It was all in pursuit of the state that you're in [Outro] Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do
