Safe For Now

The American Scene Safe For Now Lyrics
1.Just Say It

I was a stone, you were a landslide.
I was afraid you'd drag me down.
You were alone; at least that's how I found you.
Hurt enough to hope that I knew
something about being overused, and I do.

Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I'm not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of
anything.

And I won't take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you
there.

I should have known, should have seen you running.
Pedal to the floor, eyes set to some new lover's door.
You just couldn't feel so idle anymore.
If this is what you want then say it is.
We're all detachable, nothing's permanent, you learn to live
with it.

Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I'm not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of
anything.

And I won't take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you
there.

Well nothing's wrong till you say it is and
I've been off before but not about this.
If you've been looking for a reason to keep moving here I am.
Here it is.

Are you afraid of the end?
Are you afraid of the end of everything?
I'm not afraid of the end. No not afraid of the ending of
anything.

And I won't take part in this.
I could take you apart but it takes so long for me to get you
there.

3.The View From Here

I wanted you to know that your impression still holds my heart
in place,
As I step outside an ever watchful sense of pride.
I wanted you to find some secret you had pressed behind your
eyes
Night after night as we undressed under a blackout blanket sky.
I pulled this all apart for you
To spin it back into something time and better judgment couldn't
undo.

I've been down to the bottom of everything,
And I'll be around when your grip slips and you do the same.

I wanted you to say not to worry, there was nothing to explain.
But every batting lash and borrowed passion wouldn't last.
I poured out my pride for you, over this bed where we prayed but
nothing ever grew.

I've been down to the bottom of everything,
And I'll be around when your grip slips and you do the same.

Talk until you turn back into a different version of your
disassembled person and
I've heard enough. I've heard enough.

5.When You're Undone


6.Shape Shifter

I heard you don't believe in god anymore
I heard you fell out of love
I heard you don't come back home anymore
Heard you replaced all of us
Well my hands still shake just the same
I've got no one to blame just the same
I'll survive on the floor the same place as before we wandered
separate ways

And I never had anything more than this, just take it
I thought I told you
I'd only break your heart if I had to
Is that what friends do?
I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew
With every shifting shape and every shade of gray we made
I wasn't sure that I could wait I thought you swore you wouldn't
wait

Tell me how much you've changed tell I'm still to blame
Tell me how much you missed me last month
Tell me all about what keeps you up at night
Tell me you're to tired, you're to tired to fight
But don't say that you're only interested in going all the way
back to what this was
All the way back to a different us

And I never had anything more than this, just take it
I thought I told you
I'd only break your heart if I had to
Is that what friends do?
I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew
With every shifting shape and every shade of gray we made
I wasn't sure that I could wait I thought you swore you wouldn't
