Safe And Sound
Chase Your Words Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She walks through the bedroom door

a silhouette from the night before

in the dark she moves so swiftly

Imagination running wild
the only thing I can see is her smile

as she lights up the room


Sugar sweet lips, the one temptation

Her love is lust, ain't ain't no explanation

Can’t believe that I’m the victim

She’s got me so tied and I don’t mind

And I couldn’t leave even if I tried

So stuck in Stockholm syndrome


And she’s the only one I need

I’m not the one she’ll keep around

I’ll do-anything to feel safe and sound

Cause her heart beats

And I think she might just be the one for me

Hope this isn’t just for fun

I pray that she’s the one


Wake up in the middle of the night

Ro see an angel laying there by my side

Our bodies intertwined

I’ll hold her close

Hope she don’t let go

They all say we should take it slow

But I’m here, I’m here for the long road


And she’s the only one I need

I’m not the one she’ll keep around

I’ll do-anything to feel safe and sound

Cause her heart beats

And I think she might just be the one for me

Hope this isn’t just for fun

I pray that she’s the one


I hop you know my heart is true

I hope that I’m the one for you


And you’re the only one I need

If I’m the one you’ll keep around

I’ll do anything to feel safe and sound


Cause you’re the only one I need

I’m not the one you'll keep around

I’ll do anything to feel safe and sound

Cause your heart beats

And I think you might just be the one for me

Hope this isn’t just for fun

I pray that I'm the one

and you're the only one I need

I’m not the one you’ll keep around

I’ll do anything to feel safe and sound


Cause your heart beats

And I think you might just be the one for me

Hope this isn’t just for fun

I pray that I'm the

I hope this isn't just for fun





that I'm the one for you
