Safe for Now
Amber Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me now as I fight just to see you get through
Breaking out from our worlds torn apart
Some feel close though we know they are far
Against all odds we must learn from the start
That without you I can't carry on
I hear the sounds, it's deafening rings
So hear me out, I'm desperate and weak
I'm scared of the thought to lose everything
But as long as you take one for me
Chorus
There comes a time in everyone's life
We're fragile and blind, it passes us by
In time you'll find to cherish this life
With moments to spare we'll leave this behind
As long as you know I'll be fine
Chorus
There's somewhere between every star in the sky
We're made up as one just this moment in time
Where everything feels like it's just you and I
Though everything gives you no reason to try
There's somewhere between every star in the sky
It's setting me free as I look to your eyes
So seemingly still you can breathe tonight
Chorus

Hold me now as I fight just to see you get through
I need your support and comfort as I struggle to help you overcome your challenges
Breaking out from our worlds torn apart
We are trying to escape the pain and chaos that has separated us
Some feel close though we know they are far
Certain people may seem nearby, but deep down we understand they are distant
Against all odds we must learn from the start
Despite facing immense obstacles, we must begin anew and gain wisdom
That without you I can't carry on
I cannot continue without your presence and support
I hear the sounds, it's deafening rings
The noises around me are overwhelming and echo in my ears
With screams so loud, it's all I can take
The intense shouting and cries are pushing me to my limits
So hear me out, I'm desperate and weak
Please listen to me, I am feeling helpless and lacking strength
I'm scared of the thought to lose everything
The fear of losing everything is consuming my thoughts
But as long as you take one for me
As long as you make a sacrifice or endure hardships on my behalf
There comes a time in everyone's life
There is a moment in every person's existence
We're fragile and blind, it passes us by
We are vulnerable and unaware, and time slips away from us
In time you'll find to cherish this life
Eventually, you'll discover the importance of treasuring this existence
With moments to spare we'll leave this behind
When we have spare moments, we can leave our troubles in the past
As long as you know I'll be fine
Knowing that you understand, I will be okay
There's somewhere between every star in the sky
There exists a place in the vast sky between each star
We're made up as one just this moment in time
In this single moment, we are united as a whole
Where everything feels like it's just you and I
In this space, it seems like it is only you and me
Though everything gives you no reason to try
Despite everything being discouraging, you still have no reason to give up
It's setting me free as I look to your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes, it liberates me and brings a sense of freedom
So seemingly still you can breathe tonight
Although you may appear calm, you are able to breathe and find solace tonight
