Safe - St. South

You are Sunday mornings

Wrapped in everything I never knew I needed

Maybe that’s conceded

Now I like you better when you’re leaving

Monday came quicker than the summer when you were gone

I was out the back and you were honking your horn

Begging for attention as the sun wore on

Something tells me that it’s forty degrees

And my only black jeans are hugging my knees

But I’ll hide all of me ‘cause I don’t like my body

Oh class, it’s Tuesday now and my heart

Hurts, does it make you proud that I’m learning?

It makes me proud that I’m learning

I forget what I need when it’s quarter to three

I’m killing more time and it’s Wednesday eve

And maybe if you’re nowhere near, I’ll learn how to breathe

'cause baby it’s a Thursday, maybe I’ll get takeaway

Coming down on Friday, numbing down my way

And I can kiss you on a Saturday

Can I kiss you on a Saturday?

And we’ll wake up on a Sunday

Your hand around my waist

Dreaming of another day

Any day but Monday

'Cause I’m struggling tonight, to put me at ease

I’m in fight or flight

Maybe I’ll call Elise

And I’m clutching at needs

Fending off these bad dreams

And I know I’ll like myself more in the morning

Yeah I feel more at home when I’m yawning

Not mourning something I can’t see

And there’s nothing more safe

Than hearing Mum say

Why don’t you come home, we’ve got tea on the stove and we love you

And I say, I’ll be there soon

I’ll be there soon

I’ll be there soon
