Safe And Sound

(album: The Love That's Ours - 2022)

Counting up the stakes
Does the long game waste a moment
Waiting on rain rationing what's left to lose
All the time it takes picking up from where we started
Wonder what we're running from or too
We need something to hold on too
Your tell-tale heart
You echo I respond
Turn the ship around
We're too good to be drifting
Safe and sound

Turn the ship around
Got to find what we're missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out
Before we run aground
There's no easy way out
Turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Mystery and rage your too pretty for a cage of burden
Trying to get the gist every page I skipped and burnt
Dancing with them vultures in my fugitive apartment
Angel with her wing clipped gunning for the love that ours

We need something to hold on too
Your tell-tale heart
You echo I respond

Turn the ship around
We too good to be drifting
Safe and sound
Turn the ship around
Got to find what we're missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out
Before we run aground
There's no easy way out
Turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Running forwards overrated
Every doorway leads to a million more
And I'm not sure how we got here
Running forwards overrated
Every doorway leads to a million more
And I want more

Turn the ship around
We too good to be drifting
Safe and sound
Turn the ship around
Got to find what we're missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out
Before we run aground
There's no easy way out
Turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Counting up the stakes
Does the long game waste a moment
