Safe With Me

Safe With Me

So tell me something true
Something no one knows but you
Come on, come a little closer
Tell me who, what, when, where, why, and how?
Come on, tell me now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, what, what, what, what

What, what, what turns you on late at night
When it's midnight and you lose track of time
What, what, what do you keep out of sight?
Who do you miss in the middle of the night?

Skip, skip, skip the smooth talk, spare me the lines
The practiced replies, perfectly timed
I, I, I want something messy and small
Something you'd never tell anyone at all

What song do you play
When nobody's home?

Whose name do you type
When you're alone on your phone?

Who do you think of when the lights go low?
Tell me softly, I just want to know

Let it slip, slip, slip

So tell me something true
Something small, something strange, something that's you
What keeps you awake?
What makes you laugh when you should be asleep?

Tell me something sweet
Something silly you'd never repeat
Say it softly
Secretly, silently
You're safe with me

Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me
Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me

You're safe with me

Tell, tell, tell me the little thing you fear
The song that you sing when no one can hear

Re, re, rehearse on the ride home alone?
Whole conversations that nobody knows?

Give, give, give me the ramble, the rush
The words that spill out before you can hush
No, no, no, nothing neat or refined
Give me the first thing that falls from your mind

What keeps you awake
When the whole world is dreaming?

What makes you smile
At the glow of your screen?

What little secret
Would you never admit?

Come closer

Let it slip, slip, slip

So tell me something true
Something small, something strange, something that's you
What keeps you awake?
What makes you laugh when you should be asleep?

Tell me something sweet
Something silly you'd never repeat
Say it softly
Secretly, silently
You're safe with me

Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me
Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me

You're safe with me

Don't give me polished
Give me honest

The bad joke
The backstory
The half-spoken thought
That you almost forgot

The truth on your tongue
That you swallow instead
The secret that circles
Round in your head

The words you'd whisper in my ear
If you were lying right here
No time to edit
No time to improve

Just me
And you

And something true

So tell me something true
Something small, something strange, something that's you
What keeps you awake?
What makes you laugh when you should be asleep?

Tell me something sweet
Something silly you'd never repeat
Say it softly
Secretly, silently
You're safe with me

Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me
Safe, safe, safe
Safe with me, me, me

You're safe with me

Let's share a secret
Only we know

You tell me yours
I'll tell you mine

One little secret
One at a time

One little secret
One at a time
