Sanctuary

I just want to give you shelter,

It's safe to close your eyes.

I'm not going to sugar coat it,

This is a hard life.

And every time I see you,

by accident or design,

There's something beneath the surface

(In between the lines).

I want you to talk to me,

But I don't say it.

You don't have to run.

Lay your defenses down,

You've been running like a refugee.

Lay your defenses down

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary.

When you get tired of fighting

And you've had enough.

When you're walking wounded

And it's too much.

You can take off your armour,

You can lay down your shield.

I just want to hold the world back

Give you time to heal.

I want you to talk to me,

But I don't say it.

You don't have to run away.

Lay your defenses down,

You've been running like a refugee.

Lay your defenses down

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Close your eyes, it's a hard life.

I could make you a promise,

But time will make it clear.

After the dust has settled,

I'll still be right here.

You need to let me in.

So lay your defenses down,

You've been running like a refugee.

Lay your defenses down

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah

I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah
