I Am Safe Here

I Am Safe Here Lyrics

And I am safe here
And everyone we know was wavin' gently
Invitin’ me 'round to listen to that record and let me know
That I'd been playin’ with one chord in my sleep
Been sittin' with the same ten words on my tongue, on my tongue

But I am safe here
I've been gettin' apples for teachers, been pilin' them up
Been pickin' at flowers, snippin' away at the stalks
Been takin' them home, puttin’ them in vases
Just to watch them rot, just to watch them rot
Like hangin’ the clouds from the sky
I am safe here
I am, I am

When you open up your mouth
All your heroes jump out
They jump straight out
Is it endless?
He couldn't say at all
He couldn’t say at all

But I am safe here
As long as I'm with you

"To be conscious is to be cursed"
Saw that in a used book shop
Checkin' my credentials and stakin' my claim
But I am safe here
Watchin’ that magician do the same old routine
Over and over and over again

But I am safe here
Buildin' houses out of sticks

But I am safe here
As long as I'm with you
When you open up your mouth
All your heroes jump out
They jump straight out
Is it endless?
He couldn't say at all
He couldn't say at all

But I am safe here
