lyrics

I've been pushing the same things away
I've been thinking I had some debt to pay to you
But I give and give and so you take
Til I have nothing left for you

I've been making this place so goddamn safe

I open up my arms to hold you
Let nothing harm you

I feel the city writhe and shake
It's jaws are wide to devour you
But I stand between with all my strength
Hoping my actions will empower you

I been making this place so goddamn safe

I open up my arms to hold you
Let nothing harm you

I know I am the thing you need
And needing fills an urge in me

I been making this place so goddamn safe

I open up my arms to hold you
Let nothing harm you

And all I'd ask is for the same
And all I'd ask is for the same
