Safety Nets

(album: Clash Of The Substance - 2023)

I'm waking up with blurry eyes
What happened last night?
I can't remember if I acted wise
Oh, wait a second, that's right
You're lying next to me asleep
What is that cloud
I can't believe that you didn't leave
Oh wait, we're in your house

One night and I'm hypnotized like me, please
Every time you smile it slices through me
How could I be in love from one night?
No, I was never meant to fall
One night and I'm so surprised I like you
A whole lot more than I would like to
So I'll pretend I don't at all

The love you give is love I fear
And I push it away
Why do you want to come here
And why do you stay
You know I hate being sappy
But I do get unhappy
When I don't have a grip on this
I trip then I get angry
'Cause I want so badly for it to be us two
Maybe marry you, oh wait
(I didn't mean to say that)

One month, I feel so dumb love is brutal
I forget a safety net is crucial
I could be without you, without a doubt
And then my heart would crash and fall
One month, and I'm so stunned though it's lovely
I love you so much more than you could love me
So I'll pretend I don't at all

One year since you got here and it's crazy
You could go but please don't do it safely
Pull the needle out as slow as you can
The effect you have is so not small
One year and it's so clear, I'm yours, your mine
And I want to be with you for a long time
So I'll pretend I don't at all
