[Verse 1]

We live on a mountain, right at the top

There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain

Every morning I walk towards the edge and throw little things off

Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery, or whatever I find lying around


[Pre-Chorus 1]

It's become a habit, a way to start the day


[Chorus]

I go through all this before you wake up

So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

I go through all this before you wake up

So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you


[Verse 2]

It's early morning, no one is awake

I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off

I listen to the sounds they make on their way down

I follow with my eyes till they crash

I imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks


[Pre-Chorus 2]

And when it lands, will my eyes be closed or open?


[Chorus]

I go through all this before you wake up

So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

I go through all this before you wake up

So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

I go through all this before you wake up

So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you


[Post-Chorus]

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)

Safe up here with you (Safe up here with you)
