| This distant light, helps to remind me | |
| So it keeps me in check but not all of the time | |
| It goes straight to the nerve at the back of my mind | |
| And it helps me retain what I openly give to you | |
| For safekeeping | |
| Chorus: | |
| It’s only safekeeping now | |
| I will refrain from the words that I say to you | |
| That’s if you want me to my dear | |
| Cos we’re only safekeeping now | |
| I will return all the words that I took from you | |
| And I broke in two these things that help me | |
| These words collide, help to decide me | |
| So they keep me awake but not all of the time | |
| They go straight to the place in the back of my mind | |
| And I never forget what I openly take from you | |
| For safekeeping | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Keep it in mind with her all of this time | |
| With the safety in words that we choose to entwine | |
| Pull at the ends and you’ll see them unwind | |
| They are softly spoken | |
| Keep me in check but not all of the time | |
| Give me a space and just let me decide | |
| How can you forget when I openly cry | |
| It is for safekeeping | |
| I could pretend as I swallow my pride | |
| Because it’s perfectly clear, are you reading the signs? | |
| So must I repeat for the millionth time, | |
| It is for safekeeping? | |
| It’s just for safekeeping now | |
| I will refrain for the words that I say to you | |
| That’s if you want me to my dear | |
| Cos we’re just for safekeeping now | |
| I will return all the words that I took from you | |
| And I broke in two these things that help me |
| This distant light, helps to remind me | |
| So it keeps me in check but not all of the time | |
| It goes straight to the nerve at the back of my mind | |
| And it helps me retain what I openly give to you | |
| For safekeeping | |
