Safety Net

(album: Nearsighted - 2018)

In a daze, but you come across so clear
If I don't stray, we call off the search right here
But there's a hint of brief uncertainty
A touch of perfect honesty

I won't build you a safety net
If you're just planning to fall in it
'Cause we both know that there's no second best
I won't build you a safety net

A blurry shape, crash into sign, your voice clears
A violent shake as you hum a note I can't hear
A lullaby or symphony
They start to sound the same to me

I won't build you a safety net
If you're just planning to fall in it
'Cause we both know that there's no second best
I won't build you a safety net

You look over, I fell deeper, when I woke to you still sleeping
Oh, my lover, when you leave here we could figure out the details
Is it real enough
Would another touch remind us of the things we already handed over
We already handed over

I won't build you a safety net
If you're just planning to fall in it
'Cause we both know that there's no second best
I won't build you a safety net
