We Are Safe And Sound Lyrics Novels & Stories

The place was quiet that one could hear a sound of a pin if it dropped at that moment. “When the rain is pouring down And my heart is hurting You will always be around This I know for certain You and me together Through the days and nights I don't worry 'cause Everything's gonna be alright (yes, it will) People keep talking, they can say what they like But all I know is everything's gonna be alright No one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I'm feeling No one, no one, no one Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

I lower my head and press my lips to the crown of his hair, whispering the words we both need to hear. “Mine. Safe. Always.”

Her throat tightened. "Fuck! Baby? Baby, listen to me. Listen to the sound of my voice. You are okay. You're fine. You are perfectly safe," he chanted, carrying her to the bed and gently depositing them on it.

The song she picked was Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift that featured The Civil Wars. “Just close your eyes…the sun is going down…you’ll be alright..no one can hurt you now…come morning light…you and I’ll be safe and soooooound….” she drew a small crowd as she sang “Don’t you dare look out your window ..darling.. everything’s on fire …the war outside our door keeps raging on..hold onto this lullaby even when music’s gone…gone…just close your eyes …the sun is going down..you’ll be alright now one can hurt you now..come morning light..you and i’ll be safe and soooound…ooooh…ooooh…just close your eyes…you’ll be alright…come morning light..you and i’ll be..safe and sound…oooooh….ooooooh….ooooooh…”

Before anyone can stop him, he climbs into the bed, placing his small palm against my chest like he’s shielding me. “Don’t get hurt anymore,” he whispers. Sadie covers her mouth as fresh tears escape, her shoulders shaking. I pull them both toward me—Sadie on one side, Daven half on my lap—and rest my forehead against hers. For a long moment, the world stops spinning. We’re safe. Alive. Held together. And needing them—wanting them—almost hurts more than any bullet ever could. “We’re going home,” I murmur. “All of us. Together.”

Somehow… I had always known him. “Where… where do I know you from?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, shaking with emotion. He leaned closer, his presence warm, grounding. Then he began to sing. His voice was low, soft, almost fragile, yet it carried strength. “Close your eyes, little one, don’t be afraid, I’ll keep you safe till the storm has passed away. The night may howl, the wind may cry, But I’ll be here, I’ll never let you die.”

I mumble through tears. “I kind of am.” “Welcome to the family.” And for one perfect moment, we all stay like that. Warm, safe, and together. Like nothing bad could ever reach us here.

Where the hell were we? “Where are we?” I croaked, my voice sounding like it’d been dragged through a blender. Ethan turned the engine off and looked over at me, that too-gentle smile on his face again—the kind that would’ve seemed sweet if I didn’t know better. “Safe,” he said simply. “At least for now.”

How was it that they so perfectly mirrored the unspoken tension that had passed between Jacob and me the previous day? “I need somebody to heal, Somebody to know, Somebody to have, Somebody to hold, It's easy to say, But it's never the same, I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain” I sang, my voice wavering slightly with the emotion. The lyrics seemed to tumble out, each one echoing my hidden feelings for Jacob. The room was silent except for my voice, each note heavy with the longing I felt. “And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes, I fall into your arms, I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around”

Her tweezers fell to the ground with a loud clang. She slowly looked up toward the entrance of the tent. I stood there, my figure tall and burly in the light, wearing my usual bulletproof setup that had been washed so often it showed heavy signs of wear. I crouched down and gently caressed a crying boy on the head. My voice was as gentle as ever. "Don't be scared. Here, let me have a look." Carol recognized my voice. Suddenly, the whole world went absolutely still for her. She couldn't hear anything other than her thumping heartbeat drumming in her ears.
