I was a girl you couldn't define At a time when you kept yourself locked up With no way out You'd make sure you'd never be found It was working a little too well It felt like a dream when we drove to Nebraska Only to find you don't drive to Nebraska You only drive though 'Cause there ain't nothing there So we kept going, going, going And it's not what you said but the way that your hand Out the window like an airplane needs a safe place to land I wanted to talk to ya But all I could hear Was the chatter of static And my doubts and fears And we wanted to turn back but I saw a sign Sometimes there are ways of reading the invisible You said to me "Life shifts like the sand" And I told ya "I think you might be my safe place to land" We're not of the world where to feel secure You gotta have walls to paint Fences to mend Strategies to defend Places to hide When there's no guarantee Oh, the ways of the heart Can be fragile and free I waited to ask you It was never my plan Don't answer too quickly You might misunderstand But I think you might be My safe place to land
