Safe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Frozen to the glass again
Out of our skins again
Cold I am, tonight I am
Tomorrow's really on my mind
Sure to think of, from now on
The things will move more slowly
But thin is thin and chances slim
And sometimes we all have those dreams
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In this skyline
The past it almost shimmers now
All we needed, all we wished for
But here I am and safe am I
Trusting in the lament sky
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In this skyline
Skyline
Skyline
Skyline
Are things getting better now?
Are things getting worse?
But I'm standing in the sunshine
And it lifts my heart and feeds my mind
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In this skyline
Skyline
Skyline
Skyline

Skyline
Skyline
