Safe at Home

You've been biking indoors You've been sleeping outside And you're father's worried But he knows god is on your side Waiting and watching The crack in your door You'd give all your blood For her step to your floor Take one for your mother One for the ride home Lord knows it's gonna be a long trip Be sure to dress warm It'll be so cold Rush inside and hold your grip You're in love with a girl Who's in love with the world And she's come to see you safe at home She took the long way Just to see what she'd find While you sold your soul To stay out of your mind You cleaned the whole house When you got the call Left out the good records But you don't miss her at all Say New York, say Paris; yes I know it's a lie We all do it sometimes When she asks how you are Say you're just scraping by Say she's been much too hard to find Oh no, I don't know what to do Now that I see Oh, what will I, what will she do I know she needs me She needs me You're in love with a girl Who's in love with the world And she's come to see you safe Oh, she's come to see you safe Oh, she wants to know I'm safe She needs me
