[Verse 1]
Twenty years old, yet I still don't know how it really goes
I guess we make things up as we go
Tryna figure what time only knows
Wish I was wise, then maybe I would've realized
All the mistakes and white little lies
Were the lows that gave me the highs
[Chorus]
So go be careless with your love
And go be reckless till it hurts
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin
And go be precious, fill your lungs
And don't regret the things you've done
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin
[Verse 2]
Call me on the phone
When you're too drunk and out on your own
And you're so high that God only knows
How you find your way back to your home
No, I'd never say that our rules were not made to be bent
All I'll say is go, give it your best
Don't settle for anything less
[Chorus]
Oh, so go be careless with your love
And go be reckless till it hurts
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin
And go be precious, fill your lungs
And don't regret the things you've done
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin
[Bridge]
Nothing's better than walking away
But sometimes you might have to stay
You can't take it all, but you can take the string, oh
[Chorus]
So go get careless with your love
And go be reckless till it hurts
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin
And go be precious, fill your lungs
And don't regret the things you've done
Yeah, I'll pick up the pieces you're in
I'll always be your safety pin

I wrote “Safety Pin” to my 3 yr old niece ‘cause at the time she was born I was going through a rough time and I wanted to write a message to her (older self) to say that life can be really difficult at times but it’s about how we bounce back from these rough moments and I wanted to let her know tha...
