Safe At Home

I saw it in the mirror again

Buried in my eyes

You hold back for so damn long

And something nearly dies

We're living on a narrow lane

There's hardly room to turn

Every time I still that pain

I feel my body yearn

Safe at home while the world's in a spin

There a storm outside shall I let it in?

I keep my love in a warm little house

But I want to let some out

Safe at home while the world's in a spin

There's a crowd outside shall we let any in?

We keep our love in a warm little house

But I want to let some

I want to let some out

Bits and pieces come to me

Things that I don't want to know

Sometimes when living hurts like this

I think that I don't want to grow

But every time I feel that way

There's something coming through

It's like I'm staring face to face at nothing but the truth

Safe at home while the world's in a spin

There a storm outside shall I let it in?

I keep my love in a warm little house

But I want to let some out

Safe at home while the world's in a spin

There's a crowd outside shall we let any in?

We keep our love in a warm little house

But I want to let some

I want to let some out

There are spirits shown to me

Guiding lights that burn

Lead me from my own dark cave

And touch me as I learn

You are all around me now

I feel you as I breathe

I know you as the lightness on a cool Seattle breeze
