Safe And Sound
Erlandsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the shallow water

Where there's nowhere to go

You bring me peace, darlin'

So I can find my way home.
And in the shallow water,

When I'm lost in the tide

You bring me hope, darlin'

so I can make it alright.

So if the walls fall down

And if I lose my ground

I know you're there when I'm calling

Pick me up when I'm falling

I won't hit the ground

With you I'm safe and sound

And you know that I'm all in

My emotions are pouring

Let it all rain down

With you I'm safe and sound

In the darkest hours

When you're holding my hand

You bring me peace, darling

You bring me sense to understand.

So when I lose my powers

And I can't make it back to land

You are my answer darlin'

Oh yeah you make me who I am.

I know you're there when I'm calling

Pick me up when I'm falling

I won't hit the ground

With you I'm safe and sound

And you know that I'm all in

My emotions are pouring

Let it all rain down

With you I'm safe and sound

I know you're there when I'm calling

Pick me up when I'm falling

I won't hit the ground

With you I'm safe and sound

And you know that I'm all in

My emotions are pouring

Let it all rain down





With you I'm safe and sound
