Pursuit Of Happiness - No Safe Place lyrics

I've got a little girl, though I know it won't be long Before she finds another boy who will sit her by the fireplace And sing her a song It feels like there's no safe place In a world that's come apart And the deafening sound of a bursting bubble Wakes you up with a start Is there nowhere that is safe Why can't we change the rules so I win All I need is an escape A temporary place to hide When she's coming in the door when she's walking out the door Hard to tell which is worse That false feeling of relief when she comes in Or the empty feeling when she's gone And every night on the streets the forces of darkness Score another victory And I stand with the timid waiting for the devil To make a martyr of me [Chorus] Fold up the tents and load up the trucks 'Cause it's time to move on If we only knew where to go I hope that we'd already be gone And even when we're lying together, I make sure she falls asleep first It seems when things are at their best, my mind starts to wander To things at their worst So do I fall asleep and dream of a peace that never will come Or do I roll over and let her break the gla** around my heart And set off the alarm [Chorus]
