Soft & Sweet - For Tonight, We're Safe Lyrics

I wake up in the night, it's a quarter till three
So I find your favorite hoodie and a black pair of jeans
And I'll drive
You said "Come pick me up"
And so you sneak from your house into my passenger seat
And you smile with your teeth and look straight at me
"Hey, baby, let's drive and get away"

You put your favorite record on, and the volume's up
And your hair is blowing in the wind, it looks just like enough
To say "Let's make this world our own!"
And the moon is shining bright
Over our hope in the fork in the road

And everybody else is saying "What the f*ck?"
But they don't get ya like I get ya, so I guess that's enough to say
"I love the way you seize the day"
But I guess you didn't hear me, 'cause the stereo's on
And I'm laughing 'cause you sing along to every song
"Hey, Stacy! Please forget me not!"
And there's a certain kind of sadness when I look in those eyes
And it's not always present, but I know where it lies when you say
That everything's okay

Until the sun begins to rise, I'll keep ya safe
Through twenty miles and an old, homemade mixtape
That says "For when the night becomes too much, and you feel like you might explode"
I'll keep you safe, I won't take you home

"Nobody loves me and nobody stays
Look what it's come to, I'm starting to shake!
Can you please help me calm down?
Nobody loves me and nobody stays
Look what it's come to, I'm ready to break!
But I don't want to let you down"

Well, Kate, you know that I love you, and I promise I'll stay
My arms are around you, and you're starting to shake
But everything's gonna be okay
You know that I love you, and I promise I'll stay
My arms are around you and I won't let you break
And you could never let me down

Did the night become too much?
Did you feel like you might explode?
"You kept me safe, now take me home"
