SOFT PLACE TO LAND lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was unseasonably warm for September 14th
We watched a movie about magic and it really got to me
So I said I have to take a walk, and you followed me outside
Only catch was it was 3 am and you didn’t know I had lied

The Magician told the story of just who he really was
And I think this boy’s never known me even though he thinks he does
And my heart is in my throat, truths are pawing at the gate
'Cause I want you but I worry, 'cause this little voice is saying

[Chorus]
What if I am just a soft place to land?
What if I’m a passing craving?
What if who I am is something you can’t stand?
What if I am not worth saving?

What if I am just a soft place to land?
What if the idea is the best part?
What if you lovе me and what if I can’t?
It’s why I’ve kept so many from еven getting this far!
Yet here you are

[Verse 2]
I dash off through the sprinklers and start shrieking at the sky
I feel crazy, but least crazy’s better than the guilty wild
But you catch me by the elbow
And you’re laughing if bemused
Eyes see through me, brick by brick
Dismantling my every ruse, but
[Chorus]
What if I am just a soft place to land?
What if I’m a passing craving?
What if who I am is something you can’t stand?
What if I am not worth saving?

What if I am just a soft place to land?
What if the idea is the best part?
What if you love me and what if I can’t?
It’s why I’ve kept so many from even getting this far!
Yet here you are

And here I am
And here we are

[Bridge]
It suddenly came spilling out, my every shadow bared
It was silent, except the sprinklers and I’ve never been so scared
Then you said, “Well is that everything?”, and my heart fully drops
Say if nothing’s in the wings then we can take it from the top

[Chorus]
What if I give you a soft place to land?
Just give me the word and I’ll start paving
What if who I am is a love stricken man?
What if you don’t need saving?
Let me lend a hand, be a soft place to land
What if we’re still waiting for the best part?
What if I love you and what if you can?
May not know the end but at least I got this far
'Cause here you are

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh, yeah
La dada, la dada, la dada, da dada
And here we are
