safe for now 

i turn around now to turn 

the television drone down down 

cause in the night those same sounds 

amplify in my life 

they spill on the floor and out the front door 

and when i finished the book the house shook. 



hey babe when the walls shake 

we'll be halfway to the bank 

hey babe when the floors quake 

we'll be shaking out the take. 



safe for now 

every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly 

and they lie where their lovers lie 

like everything's fine 

so pound on the chest and hope for the best 

and i'll give you that like 

like we're off the hook. 



hey babe when the walls shake 

we'll be halfway to the bank 

hey babe when the floors quake 

we'll be shaking out the take. 

hey babe are you awake? 



safe for now 

so be sure and save us now 

safe for now 

so be brave and save us now.
