Is It Safe - Our Lady Peace

time can’t fix it fast enough,

so we won’t notice what it was that went wrong

I saw something there much too familiar

a butterfly with a broken wing

she’s fallen under, she’s past the end,

communication is down again

the scars have healed but they’re back again

we’ve got to believe this man must bend

because if you could you’d try and destroy her

and there we would be with nothing at all

Is it safe to be a man

when your tired and lonely

only the confident know where to stand

Is it safe to be man

when the world is loaded with thousands

that can’t figure out just what they did

time can’t fix it fast enough,

so we won’t measure just how far below you kept pushing her

you’ll have to pay back all of the years that you stole

she’s walking backwards,

she’s spun around her ears are ringing loud,

how does it feel, does it make you mad?

she’s on her knees

please understand how obvious it is that this man must bend
