Lyrics Safe For Now - The American Scene

Safe For Now

«Safe For Now»
We turned rest into home
And sank into the things that we didn’t know
We took off our clothes
To keep away from what seemed to be so impossibly unavoidable
And we might need to come back down;
We might not lose the love we found
I’m not leaving this room till you can tell me the truth
Did you really think I’d just watch you leave?
Like that’s just how it is?
Yea that sounds like me
But I knew better than to think that you’d be done with this so soon
And I could feel the cold creeping out of your skin
Calmer by the second we let silence settle in
And left the things we couldn’t say buried with those bedroom days
That blurred into an image of the simplest parts of us
I’m not leaving this room till you can tell me the truth
Did you really think I’d just watch you leave?
Like that’s just how it is?
Yea that sounds like me
But I knew better than to think that you’d be done with this so soon
Did you get it all out?
Are we safe for now?
Did this brittle boned bending of mine
Make you feel, make you feel
A little more alive?..
