Firm Ground

Home, warm, only with you

Do I dare to turn the heating on

Build me a shelter of Norwegian wood

When I hide from the world,

You step up and face it all head on

When you're panicked, I take care of you

So much of what's to come

Is unbearably unknown

It makes my eyes swim, my ears pound,

Until I feel half drowned

But when the floods rise

I won't have far to run

To find you and I

Safe on firm ground

Let the peace of my body in your arms,

At perfect rest with you

Be a salve for imperfections of the past

If I've taken you for granted,

Then let me make it up to you

With a song from the heart at long last

Because when so much of what's to come

Is unbearably unknown

It makes my eyes swim, my ears pound,

Until I feel half drowned

But when the floods rise

I won't have far to run

To find you and I

Safe on firm ground

I gaze into your eyes

And no more need to run

I know you and I

Are safe on firm ground
