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
