Safe Place to Land

Remember those carefree days, oh, we were young and free

Riding through the streets, just you and me

But time moved on, and life drew us apart

Yet in my heart, I held you in the dark

We were just kids on borrowed time,

You on that skateboard, I was right behind

Sneaking down to The Lawns after dark,

Trading secrets, giving away our hearts

Life took us down roads untraversed,

But some kind of love, it never left us

Gary, you don’t have to look over your shoulder with me,

I’m the same girl from your wildest dreams

No crossed fingers, no hidden truths,

Just your blue eyes looking into mine

I know you’re scared to fall,

But you don’t have to worry at all

This love’s a safe place to land,

You’ll see, you don’t have to be afraid with me

Ginger hair and those tattooed hands,

Making art out of worn-out bands

You carry stories under your skin,

Some you lost, some you lived back then

Gary, I’m the one here to stay,

Right beside you every day

So we’ll keep riding these streets of our memories,

No matter where life leads us, it’s you and me

In this love, I’ll always believe,

Together, forever, you and me
