Safe Now Songtext
von Fielded

Safe now
I ran to you when I was just
A young twenty-two
I felt so far from myself
Caught up in our mutual Hell
Safe now
I came of age
With a darkness deeply
Embedded in my cells
I didn′t want to be well

And I can't run forever
But I can′t stay still together
You are the last person I'd be
And yet still the last person I'd leave
Until faced with the dark
Our dark
Faced with the dark
My dark


Safe now
I tried to flee
When I was just twenty-three
I packed my bills in a box
I booked a tour then I stopped
Safe now
Communicating with you indefinitely
You called me every hour
Tried to crush me like a flower

But I can′t run forever
But I can′t stay stuck together
You are the last person I'd be
And yet still the last person I′d leave
Unless faced with the dark
Our dark
Faced with the dark
My dark


And I thought I told you
Where i was going in my mind
I got to New Mexico
And you finally had me on the line
I said, "it's over. I′m never going back to what that was."
You said, "I'd guessed it when you weren′t returning all my calls."
And I heard humanity in your voice for the first time
And I hadn't heard you through all the noise in a long time
We laughed
You cried
Train tracks on all sides
The night
We died

Safe now
I got to Cali
Decided I'd live in the Valley
I had it all worked out
I wouldn′t mind the drought
Safe now
Then I met another
Much like you, obsessed with his mother
Then I was hooked on him
Codependence begins again
