Safe and Sound
⇑Taylor Swift Lyrics

I remember tears streamin' down your face When I said I'd never let you go, When all those shadows almost killed your light. I remember you said "Don't leave me here alone", But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
The singer remembers how their partner cried when they promised to never abandon them, and when their partner was on the verge of losing all hope. The partner begged the singer to stay, but those moments are now in the past.

Just close your eyes, The sun is going down. You'll be alright, No one can hurt you now. Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound
The singer comforts their partner, asking them to close their eyes as the day ends. The singer reassures their partner that nothing can harm them now, and come morning, they will both be safe and protected.

Don't you dare look out your window, Darlin' everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on. Hold onto this lullaby, Even when the music's gone, Gone
The singer advises their partner not to look outside as everything is in chaos. The singer acknowledges that the war outside their door continues to rage on. They urge their partner to hold onto their song and its soothing effects, even if the music stops.

Just close your eyes, The sun is going down. You'll be alright, No one can hurt you now. Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound
The artist repeats their comforting message, telling their partner that they will be okay and protected through the night until the morning arrives.

Just close your eyes, You'll be alright. Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound
The artist reiterates their words of comfort, telling their partner to close their eyes and trust that they will be okay through the night and into the morning.

Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The singer adds some soothing sounds to their message, perhaps to create a calming and peaceful atmosphere.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh Oohhh
The song ends with more of the soothing sounds and the repetition of the "oohs", perhaps to give a sense of peacefulness and safety that the singer is trying to convey to their partner.
