Keep Me Safe - Talker

The clock is ticking down

Like a hammer to my skull

And I can’t stop it now

It’s like the harder that I pull

The shorter every minute seems

Counting til the moment that you leave

My body pressed down flat

All my weight on the minute hand

But when it finally snaps

Who knows where I’m gonna land

Floating in your memory

I’m not as weightless as I seem

I just want you to be happy

But I don’t know where that leaves me

Yeah I just want you to be happy

But I don’t want you to leave me

You’ve got a storm to rage

But I’m still locked outside

And you can’t slow your pace

So there’s nowhere I can hide

Thunder when your engine starts

Washed away, I’m torn apart

I just want you to be happy

But I don’t know where that leaves me

Yeah I just want you to be happy

But I don’t want you to leave me

Who’s gonna keep me safe when you’re gone?

Who’s gonna keep me sane?

Who’s gonna keep me safe when you’re gone, when you’re gone, when you’re gone,

when you’re gone

I just want you to be happy

But I don’t know where that leaves me, leaves me

Yeah I just want you to be happy, happy, happy

I don’t want you to leave me
