Safe Tonight Songtext
von Poster Children

Sifting through a century or more
Memories are spread across the floor
Cutting through the layers of sentiment
Digging deeper than we′ve ever been

The residue
A broken shell
Abandoned well


Saving multiples, collecting dust
Pulling out the roots and farming rust
Living out of sight and out of mind
Boxing up what's left′s a losing fight

An empty chair
A living room
An open wound

We are in the back seat sleeping soundly through the night
Buried under blankets dreaming through the snow and ice
And our mother's singing softly in a voice from another life

You're safe tonight, you′re safe tonight

Now we′re in the front seat coloring within the lines
Flying through the darkness 'til we catch the morning light
And we know what is coming but for now this place is quiet


We′re safe tonight, safe tonight
