No Safe Place Lyrics - Pursuit Of Happiness

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 glass around my heart 

And set off the alarm 

[Chorus]
