The House Shook

safe for now
 i turn around now to turn
 the television drone down down
 cause in the night those same sounds
 amplify in my life
 they spill on the floor and out the front door
 and when i finished the book the house shook.
 hey babe when the walls shake
 we'll be halfway to the bank
 hey babe when the floors quake
 we'll be shaking out the take.
 safe for now
 every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly
 and they lie where their lovers lie
 like everything's fine
 so pound on the chest and hope for the best
 and i'll give you that like
 like we're off the hook.
 hey babe when the walls shake
 we'll be halfway to the bank
 hey babe when the floors quake
 we'll be shaking out the take.
 hey babe are you awake?
 safe for now
 so be sure and save us now
 safe for now
 so be brave and save us now.
