[Verse 1]
I remember the rush
We were running backyard to yard
Wasn't scared of going too far
Staying out 'til it's too dark
I remember the rush
We were running backyard to yard
Wasn't scared of going too far
Staying out 'til it's too dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, now daylight don't make it right
And you would really know this
Closed hearts make closed minds
And I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses
We're not back in time

[Chorus]
When we were safe
Back then when we were safe
When we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe

[Verse 2]
I don't remember it all
But I know that I was invincible
Like the heroes in the cartoons
Saving lives through my living room
I don't remember it all
But I know that I was invincible
Like the heroes in the cartoons
Saving lives through my living room
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, now daylight won't make it right
And you would really know this
Closed hearts make closed minds
Closed hearts make closed minds
And I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses
We're not back in time

[Chorus]
Back then when we were safe
Back then we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
There's not much comfort in this place
Ah-aha, aha-aha, keep you safe
When you can't fight the bitter taste
Ah-aha, aha-aha, keep you safe

[Bridge]
I know that I'm a fighter
Yeah, I've always been a fighter
But I tried to play with fire, but I got burned
Don't know how to help this
Yeah, I'm feeling kind of helpless
Yeah, maybe it's too selfish if it don't wanna hurt

[Chorus]
Back then when we were safe
Back then when we were safe
Back then when we were safe
Ah-ah-ah, there's not much comfort in this place
And you would really know this
I keep you safe
Closed hearts make closed minds
When you can't fight the bitter taste
I, I keep you safe
Closed hearts make closed minds
Safe (Safe, safe), safe
