It Bites - For Safekeeping lyrics

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
