Safe

Never needed a sword
Never needed a shield
Never stormed a castle
On a battlefield

I 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 want to make you feel safe
Whatever that means
Am I strong enough to
Let you feel free

If you want to 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 want to 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
With my head on your lap
You make me feel tough

Fighting biology
There's still so much fight in me

I want to make you feel safe
Whatever that means
Am I strong enough
To let you feel free

If you want to 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 want to make you feel safe
