Safe
Olivia Grace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me to a quiet place but knock until it
Take me to head in space I've been looking all night
In a forest fire, running with the wolves
You take me higher, somewhere only you could

Half exposed, you've seen what's shown
My eyes are closed, I'm letting go

Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide
I'm safe with you
Swimming in the starlight, hold me to the
I'm safe with you
Trust me, we don't have to run from here, here
Love me, love me till we end up clear
Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide

Remember when you found me, I was running with the wolves
I was in the dark too long to recognize the good
Never lost ways, I would be alright
Laying in your arms, all storms passed us by

Half exposed, you've seen what's shown
My eyes are closed, I'm letting go

Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide
I'm safe with you
Swimming in the starlight, hold me to the
I'm safe with you
Trust me, we don't have to run from here, here
Love me, love me till we end up clear
Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling right to you
There's nothing, there's nothing, there's nothing I'd rather do
Give me your love and I'll do anything that you want me to

Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide
I'm safe with you
Swimming in the starlight, hold me to the
I'm safe with you
Trust me, we don't have to run from here, here

Love me, love me till we end up clear
Falling with the left side, I'm not the high tide
