Capital Cities – Safe and Sound
Capital Cities – Safe and Sound Lyrics:
I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
and take you where you want to be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we’ll be safe and sound
I could fill your cup
You know my river won’t evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we’ll be safe and sound
I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You’ll still be standing next to me
You could be my luck
Even if we’re six feet underground
I know that we’ll be safe and sound
From Capital Cities EP, 2011
Written, performed and produced by Sebu Simonian and Ryan Merchant. Additional guitars by Nick Merwin. Trumpet by Brian Warfield.
