Lyrics Belle & Sebastian – Safety Valve

I wrote a song to you
I poured my soul in it
Now I’m feeling fly
I want my soul back

Lately, I just need a pal
Thanks for being my safety valve

I know that there’s something out there
I can feel it
I walk in the night
I look in the windows
There’s dinners and parties
And late conversations
Laughing out loud
The tears of a crowd

Lately, I just need a pal
Wish you’d be my safety valve

Hey, I’ve been here before
I’ll save you, it’s a serious bore
Hey, I’ve been

I still wrote this song for you
I dedicate this song to you
I know you’ve been there all alone
I wanna stay close to you

Sometimes I just need a pal
Thanks for being my safety valve

Hell on my own is a night without prospects
You need something good to get through the day
I’m not in a good place, I know I’ll get better
But just for tonight, take me away

And come and be my sacred pal

Hey, I’ve been there before
I’ll spare you, it’s a serious bore
Hey, I’ve been there before
I’ll save you, it’s a serious bore
Hey, I’ve been there before
