Lyrics
For Safekeeping
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.
This distant light, helps to remind me
So it keeps me in check but not all of the time
It goes straight to the nerve at the back of my mind
And it helps me retain what I openly give to you
For safekeeping
It's only safekeeping now
I will refrain from the words that I say to you
That's if you want me to my dear
'Cause we're only safekeeping now
I will return all the words that I took from you
And I broke in two these things that help me
These words collide, help to decide me
So they keep me awake but not all of the time
They go straight to the place in the back of my mind
And I never forget what I openly take from you
For safekeeping
Keep it in mind with her all of this time
With the safety in words that we choose to entwine
Pull at the ends and you'll see them unwind
They are softly spoken
Keep me in check but not all of the time
Give me a space and just let me decide
How can you forget when I openly cry
It is for safekeeping
I could pretend as I swallow my pride
Because it's perfectly clear, are you reading the signs?
So must I repeat for the millionth time
It is for safekeeping?
It's just for safekeeping now
I will refrain for the words that I say to you
That's if you want me to my dear
'Cause we're just for safekeeping now
I will return all the words that I took from you
And I broke in two these things that help me
