fists and threats, he forgets they were the world, and he is misery
 and when she sings her beauty stings his eyes are like a curse and hers
 are permanently blue

 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you

 just one drink makes you think how great your friends can be
 wakes up a world where he can't be
 here he comes
 something dumb with loaded fingers and thumbs
 she clings to my arms
 and i can't give her the strength to live in the second before the people become
 a corridor for two
 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you

 it's true

 and in a black back street with the back of your hand
 now we're over understanding
 how a guy like you gets born
 there's only one of you

 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you

 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you

 we can keep her safe
 we can keep her safe
 we can keep her safe

 we can keep her safe from you
 we can keep her safe from you

 we can keep her safe
 we can keep her safe
 we can keep her safe
 we can keep her safe...

 from you
