'You are indeed right, Safe As Houses is a love song. For my girlfriend at the time, who broke up with me just before the record came out and after I had moved to Sydney to live with her. Crucial times. It wasn’t hard to write because I felt and meant every word I wrote 100% and still do. It is hard to play live though because it just drags up all those feelings and memories I had, so I try and skip playing that song as much as possible.'
This is taken from an interview with the singer:
