It Is Safe Lyrics
Let's go for a swim
out into the waves
when the lifeguards leave
it's ours for the day
let's feel like we're brave
let's give it some meaning
even if it's shallow
even if it is fake
it is safe as long as i see you way out in the water
with no thought of going under
we could be out here for hours
lying in the sand i fall asleep and dream of the summer
when we'd slip behind the pool and go with nature
we'd lie beside the chlorine bottles
after sometime sleep and dream of summers
when things could not be so easy
if you're looking for something
out in the waves
at least it is something
you know that you're safe
it is sound as long as i see you way out in the water
with no thought of going under
we could be out here for hours
lying in the sand i fall asleep and dream of the summer
when we'd slip behind the pool and go with nature
we'd lie beside the chlorine bottles
after sometimes sleep and dream of summers
when things could not be so easy
i see birds above the waves sit on the air and wait for something
i know someday i'll be done with all this waiting
so i'll lay down on the couch after sometime sleep
and dream of the summers
when things could not be so terribly easy
out into the waves
when the lifeguards leave
it's ours for the day
let's give it some meaning
even if it's shallow
even if it is fake
with no thought of going under
we could be out here for hours
when we'd slip behind the pool and go with nature
we'd lie beside the chlorine bottles
after sometime sleep and dream of summers
when things could not be so easy
out in the waves
at least it is something
you know that you're safe
with no thought of going under
we could be out here for hours
when we'd slip behind the pool and go with nature
we'd lie beside the chlorine bottles
after sometimes sleep and dream of summers
when things could not be so easy
i know someday i'll be done with all this waiting
so i'll lay down on the couch after sometime sleep
and dream of the summers
when things could not be so terribly easy

When i'm stressed to the breaking point this song helps me remember to calm down and think about the places that make me happiest. I love the line "it is safe as long as i see you way out in the water with no thought of going under" which is such a great way to state how our safety is so dependent on the ones we love and who love us in return.
good song indeed, not sure of the lyrics :)
i love this song, i always have to skip the first part though for some reason that intro realllly bothers me but other than that- great song :)
Dodgy intro but a lovely song, also love the lyric "it is safe....."
