6) Safe
You taught me everything I know,
Turns out they're all lies, but you claim you've grown.
Maybe it just goes to show that trying to find real never...
Works out the way you're told.
I thought I taught you what I know...
About staying young...and refusing to grow old...
I guess they were lies because....
Everything that was said seems to have faded from your soul
And love will find what we lost now
It's currently gone, but like a soldier staking it out it will
Catch us when we're off guard.
Or shoulder us, when we can't take the fight alone.
Like roses your cheeks they show,
The feelings underneath the armor you've come to know...
The next time I look in your eyes,
I don't wanna be told anymore lies because baby I know
And love will find what we lost now
It's currently gone, but like a soldier staking it out it will
Catch us when we're off guard.
Or shoulder us, when we can't take the fight alone.
You say I've changed but I still see the way,
Your eyes look at me...don't tell me you don't feel the same.
You're running away, from everything...all the possibilities...
Dont you remember feeling safe with me??
Turns out they're all lies, but you claim you've grown.
Maybe it just goes to show that trying to find real never...
Works out the way you're told.
I thought I taught you what I know...
About staying young...and refusing to grow old...
I guess they were lies because....
Everything that was said seems to have faded from your soul
And love will find what we lost now
It's currently gone, but like a soldier staking it out it will
Catch us when we're off guard.
Or shoulder us, when we can't take the fight alone.
Like roses your cheeks they show,
The feelings underneath the armor you've come to know...
The next time I look in your eyes,
I don't wanna be told anymore lies because baby I know
And love will find what we lost now
It's currently gone, but like a soldier staking it out it will
Catch us when we're off guard.
Or shoulder us, when we can't take the fight alone.
You say I've changed but I still see the way,
Your eyes look at me...don't tell me you don't feel the same.
You're running away, from everything...all the possibilities...
Dont you remember feeling safe with me??
SAFE Lyrics
I think the best songs are written in one sitting. Better yet, I think the best songs are written in less than half an hour. This song was written in ten minutes while waiting for someone to take a shower. Tom Petty says the best songs are only three chords. What’ya know? This song meets that criteria too. I don’t think this is the best song I’ve ever written, but I do believe that this song hits home for a large amount of people. Thank you to everyone who sings along at shows. I’m playing these songs for you.
