Safe

(Album: A Lot To Say - 2013)

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
