"We Think" lyrics
We think the air is safe to breathe here
We think the water's safe to drink
It was just a Sunday morning, we came together lying there in bed
Colours painted in the hallway, the sheet across your body held you there
You asked me without thinking, you watched me from the corner of your eye
Can we go swimming, darling? Can we go diving deep into the light?
You came to us in winter and what awaited you was never clear
A thousand voices speaking, a thousand voices singing in your ear
I told you that you matter, I told you that you're brave and fair and strong
They'll say the sky is falling if it keeps you staring back for long enough
For long enough
We think the air is safe to breathe here
We think the water's safe to drink, ah
We think the words are safe to read here
We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah
Try not to show you, try not to make it seem as though
I was just terrified, listening awake each time you go
I'd lie down gladly, underneath the belly of a train
I can't keep the river from the shore, can't keep you dry each time it rains
Each time it rains
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
We think the words are safe to read here (Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah (Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
It was a desert when I was a child
Street lights and car parks and blood on our minds
If I ever wanted, I wanted for less
And with these thousand cuts, it's the least you could get
It was forever, but never like this
Straight from the heart and it's hard to resist
Hope against hope and you had me convinced
It was all in pursuit of the state that you're in
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
We think the water's safe to drink
It was just a Sunday morning, we came together lying there in bed
Colours painted in the hallway, the sheet across your body held you there
You asked me without thinking, you watched me from the corner of your eye
Can we go swimming, darling? Can we go diving deep into the light?
You came to us in winter and what awaited you was never clear
A thousand voices speaking, a thousand voices singing in your ear
I told you that you matter, I told you that you're brave and fair and strong
They'll say the sky is falling if it keeps you staring back for long enough
For long enough
We think the air is safe to breathe here
We think the water's safe to drink, ah
We think the words are safe to read here
We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah
Try not to show you, try not to make it seem as though
I was just terrified, listening awake each time you go
I'd lie down gladly, underneath the belly of a train
I can't keep the river from the shore, can't keep you dry each time it rains
Each time it rains
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
We think the words are safe to read here (Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
We think the thoughts are safe to think, ah (Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
