Safe at Home

You've been biking indoors
You've been sleeping outside
And you're father's worried
But he knows god is on your side
Waiting and watching
The crack in your door
You'd give all your blood
For her step to your floor

Take one for your mother
One for the ride home
Lord knows it's gonna be a long trip
Be sure to dress warm
It'll be so cold
Rush inside and hold your grip

You're in love with a girl
Who's in love with the world
And she's come to see you safe at home

She took the long way
Just to see what she'd find
While you sold your soul
To stay out of your mind
You cleaned the whole house
When you got the call
Left out the good records
But you don't miss her at all

Say New York, say Paris; yes I know it's a lie
We all do it sometimes
When she asks how you are
Say you're just scraping by
Say she's been much too hard to find

Oh no, I don't know what to do
Now that I see
Oh, what will I, what will she do
I know she needs me
She needs me

You're in love with a girl
Who's in love with the world
And she's come to see you safe
Oh, she's come to see you safe
Oh, she wants to know I'm safe
She needs me
