Safe and Sound - Electric President

You took your hits with the bruises on the soles of your feet

Well, who’s to say if they’re deserved?

But you’re turning reckless now

I hear you saying through your teeth that you’ll take them down first

But I saw you flinch when the doctors got their claws in you

I saw your smile start to crack

It’s not so funny when you’re sunk and there ain’t nothing you can do

And your options are all dead ends

But there’s no way out

I’ll let you build your home with me till the clocks run down

When your looks run out

Call me and I will come and fix you, get your feet on the ground

When there’s no way out

Call me and I will come and bury you, all safe and sound

And all this time you’ve been drifting out with the tide, my friend

But you can have what’s mine if it helps you stay afloat

If I close my eyes I can’t watch you drown anymore, my friend

But I’ll tell you lies if it helps you sleep at night

And the more we fight, the more we don’t get right, my friend

And the more we fight, the more we don’t get right

Heard they broke you

That you gave in

That you dropped

And the fight had left you

But don’t you worry

Makes no difference

From the start

Your options were all dead ends

When there’s no way out

I’ll let you build your home with me till the clocks run down

When your looks run out

Call me and I will come and fix you, get your feet on the ground

When there’s no way out

Call me and I will come and bury you, all safe and sound
