The Safest Place

I'm pulling up stakes in the wake of the look you gave me

I'm packing my things on my way to the wrong side of town

We're risking one kiss and the words that could tangle heart strings

We trembled at the sound

Caught by the moon on your face in my gravel driveway

Transfixed by your eyes, they eclipse every ounce of light

Till the world disappeared and we swore we could see the future

We trembled at the sight

Oh, it's my favorite face

The safest place

For my heart, for my heart

We're melting down metals and stones like we were the first ones

We're putting up neon lights above our heads

I whisper your name like a mantra that just might save me

If I needed being saved

And my friend said, this only happens once in a lifetime

And by god, he could be right

'Cause what was dead suddenly sent out a lifeline

And you came back to me tonight

Oh, it's my favorite face

The safest place

For my heart, for my heart

We fell in love, then we broke our hearts

Then we fell in love again

But there's nothing so sweet as a melody with an unexpected turn

At the end

Oh, it's my favorite face

The safest place

For my heart, for my heart
