Safe & Sound

Intro:

I don’t need anything
Hope you’re happy when I’m not around
I don’t need anything
I just hope you’re safe and sound

Chorus:

I won’t take you into that goodnight, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
If I ain’t present, then I hope your soul is light, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
I don’t need anything
Hope you’re happy when I’m not around
I don’t need anything
I just hope you’re safe and sound

Verse 1:

I wish I could just write a petty song
But I can’t, cuz you’ve never so much as complained
Avoided discussing the cause of your pain
Forever, was caught in the rain
I don’t have disdain, don’t have no feelings of hatred
Cuz you’re the patron saint of patience
Just hopе you’re safe, and you’re happy, and fеd, and you’re sheltered
I hope that your haven’s the safest
You don’t owe me shit
I’m sorry that you have to hear this lonely shit
But just know, I won’t write homely shit
Even if I want you to hold me, shit
I can move on from the practicalities
Cuz you never gave a damn bout salary
And you never gave a damn bout outer me
Even if it was short, it was sweet

Chorus:

I won’t take you into that goodnight, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
If I ain’t present, then I hope your soul is light, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
I don’t need anything
Hope you’re happy when I’m not around
I don’t need anything
I just hope you’re safe and sound

Verse 2:

We’ll always have late night drives
At Heaven’s Gate
Wish I'd gave you a second date
But hey
It’s your choice, I won’t fight that
And if you’re content, and this really helps
It’ll leave a welt, but I’ll live
Hope that you see yourself- a titan
Hope you can be yourself- alright, man?
I’m not broken, shit
So sick and tired of the hopeless shit
You help teach me how to be open, shit
And never gave a fuck if I was broke and shit
I can move on from the practicalities
Cuz you never gave a damn bout salary
And you never gave a damn bout outer me
Look inside, just what you found in me
I’m a good person because of you

Chorus:

I won’t take you into that goodnight, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
If I ain’t present, then I hope your soul is light, babe
That’s alright, babe, that’s alright
I don’t need anything
Hope you’re happy when I’m not around
I don’t need anything
I just hope you’re safe and sound
