Crazy people know
The special place to go
When the pressure is on.
Neurons re-align
'Til the feeling is fine
Or the trouble is gone.
They're in the business
Of inventing saviours.

There's always trouble
So tell yourself again
That help is on the way
And safety abounds,
That safety abounds.

When you need some
Kind of guarantee
That you're protected
You start to trust
The things that
Deeper comfort brings
Before you've checked it.
You might be waiting
For a long time.

There's always trouble
So tell yourself again
That help is on the way
And safety abounds,
That safety abounds,
That safety abounds,
That safety abounds.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
