Safe Here

There is a space between the evening and the sunset
That makes me want to cry
I don't know why

But it fills me up until I just can't breathe
Clouds suffocating me
Even if I still feel empty

I just want the world to stop a bit
Just to halt in its footsteps
From eternity to eternity

To eternally changing and chasing
Just breaking and taking
I feel its every heave in my bones

I can pretend it doesn't terrify me
Like everything I see is wondrous
Is marvelous
Like enormity doesn't make me feel

So small
In the midst of it all
Like I'm not stuck in freefall

But then you take my hand
And I can see that I'm
Safe here

There's just a breath between nostalgia and my sadness
That makes me feel alive
Though I avoid it sometimes

It takes away everything close to me
It taints my memories
To think that I once was happy

I know that the world lies just beyond
The folds of your jacket
From insanity to insanity

To incessantly turning and burning
So lost with its yearning
For a moment, I know how it feels

I can pretend it doesn't terrify me
Like everything I see is wondrous
Is marvelous
Like enormity doesn't make me feel

So small
In the midst of it all
Like I'm not stuck in freefall
But then you take my hand
And I can see that I'm

Safe here
Though our world's built in fear
This much I know to be clear
That when I see you smile
Then I can see that I'm

Safe here

I can pretend it doesn't terrify me
That one day you'll forget that I exist
That it's you I'll miss
Like the way life goes doesn't make me feel

So small
In the midst of it all
Like I'm not stuck in free fall
But then you take my hand
And I can see that I'm

Safe here
Though our world's built in fear
This much I know to be clear
That when I see you smile
Then I can see that I'm

Safe here
