Safety Net Lyrics

The nurse removed me in a rush

You feared I had already breathed my last

My face was tender to the touch

But aren't we all that way as we come to life

Could that which wrapped around my neck

And that which gave me life

Much more quickly be my death

The tool to save me on the desk

And it may hurt they say

But it's worth it for a breath

As my skin turned blue

You didn't know what to do

You feared my first day was my last

Do you remember now

But that was 24 years ago

The memory don't keep you up at night anymore

You've watched your baby face the world

But fear hasn't gone, it just took a different form

It hurts me just as much as you

So as I try to breathe

would you hold me close

Cause I can't tell safety net from noose

And when it's hard to tell

It's hard to know where i can go

As my skin turns blue,

I don't know what to do

I need to find the truth

but I don't know how

So if I cut the cord

Would you hold me like you did

If I couldn't call him Lord

Would you still love me now

The nurse removed me in a rush

You feared I had already breathed my last
