Safe Haven

{gentle fingerpicked guitar, ambient

piano swells}

Got my heart in a headlock

Old feeling, new slot

Old scars I still got

Only death is my stop

{close-mic'd intimate male vocal}

Never learned what safe feels like

Every sunrise turned to night

So why’s your voice feel so damn warm?

Why don’t I wanna run this time?

{building piano layers} You’re teasing every nervous grin

Seeing right through all my skin

Got me smiling, got me shook

Like you already read the book

{pre-chorus lift with reverb} I keep waiting for the fall

For the silence after all

But you ask me if I’ve ate today

And somehow that just melts the pain {soaring emotional chorus,

huge atmospheric guitars} Maybe love ain’t loud at first Maybe healing always

hurts

Maybe I don’t need to know

Maybe I just let this grow

{building back to intimate} If you’re real then let me see Love

that’s patient, love that’s free ’Cause my heart still flinches when you

smile… But it stays a little longer every mile.

{explosive final build} {gradual fade with ambient guitar and

piano,

lingering

hope}
