Safe Without

From Interpol2010

Lyrics

Safe Without

[Verse 1]

I'm not the hero out the gate

So much to feel, so much to gain

My higher reason will take aim

I'll be okay, I've got my shapes

We are not alone, we share our stake

And I think the winter will be wonderful

[Chorus]

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without

[Verse 2]

Go alone, we'll split the chase

To all the roll or drop the weight

There's no allegiance step to take

These great big sheets disintegrate

You don't wanna, you don't wanna

[Chorus]

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without it

I am safe without

[Outro]

But I feel this way

Feel this way

I steal, I kneel, I do it again

Over and over and over and over
