Safe As Houses

The first time tasted like ice cream, she said Like waking from a nightmare to an empty bed And nothing can touch you Until you fall back in The first time you saw the headlights arrive Come breaking out the darkness to materialize And you lay there breathing You lay there trying to forget Pretending no one saw the fog that came Spilling endless out your head Well, I know you better I know you better than you'd believe And I swear, if it comes back for you Then first it has to go through me I've known you forever I know you better than you'd believe And I swear that if it comes for you Then it'll have to go through me And you could curl up safe as houses And I could seep into your past Like nothing else would ever matter Like nothing ever really has
