Safe

Never needed a sword

Never needed a shield

Never stormed a castle on a battlefield

Haven't needed a fist

Since third-period gym

Jeremy Copeland, honestly, fuck that kid

21st century

There's still so much fight in me

I wanna make you feel safe

Whatever that means

Am I strong enough to let you feel free?

If you wanna stay

If you need to leave

I'm still learning what it means to be

Protective, show affection

When to fix it, when to listen, how to say

"I'm right here, babe"

I wanna make you feel safe

I'm tryna be open

Not to close off

Stoic is easy

It's hard to be soft

You whisper my name

Like I've never messed up

My head on your lap

You make me feel tough

Fighting biology

There's still so much fight in me

I wanna make you feel safe

Whatever that means

Am I strong enough to let you feel free?

If you wanna stay

If you need to leave

I'm still learning what it means to be

Protective, show affection

When to fix it, when to listen, how to say

"I'm right here, babe"

I wanna make you feel safe
