Is It Safe? — текст песни (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
