Safety Switch

(album: Race Car Blues - 2020)

I don't really see it, when you say you're sorry
I'm like a little extra sitting in your movie scene
I think I got a conscience but it's on vacation
And I don't want to bother, maybe this is what they need
I just want to be there, when it's all forgotten
And when we finally get there, are you gonna say my name?
And not under your breath like a fucking test

Tell me would you love me if I started making sense?
Tell me would you cut me if my aptitude found its consequence?
Tell me that you're building in a safety switch that turns us off before we drift
Tell me that you'll stop me just before we hit a wall

Looks like an another late night, staring at the window
Waiting for a monster, waiting for a guiding light
That's a little rich now, coming from a cop out
Just because you feel it, doesn't means it's justified
I think a got a conscience but it's on vacation
I just got a postcard said they're coming home real soon
Ever since they left I've been running out of breath

Tell me would you love me if I started making sense?
Tell me would you cut me if my aptitude found its consequence?
Tell me that you're building in a safety switch that turns us off before we drift
Tell me that you'll stop me just before we hit a wall

I think we'll be alright if I fill up the cracks
With apologies and never take them back
I wanna say yes, but I don't know
I wanna say yes, but you've gone cold
I wanna say yes, but we both know

Tell me would you love me if I started making sense?
Tell me would you cut me if my aptitude found its consequence?
Tell me that you're building in a safety switch that turns us off before we drift
Tell me that you'll stop me just before we hit a wall

I wanna say yes, but I don't know
I wanna say yes, but you've gone cold
I wanna say yes, but we both know
