Carsie Blanton Harbor
[Verse 1]
It isn't safe out here; it's perfectly clear
I should've known it was a big mistake
I could've stayed at home, not answered the phone
And never given you my heart to break
[Chorus]
But lovers run to ruin
Soldiers run to war
Ships are safe in harbor
But it ain't what ships are for
Hearts are made for breaking
You were made for me
So batten down the hatches, honey
Sail away to sea
[Verse 2]
We had a lot to learn and courage to burn
We were the cutest little fools in town
I was an awful mess, but you were the best
And I was trying not to let you down
[Chorus]
Lovers run to ruin
Soldiers run to war
Ships are safe in harbor
But that ain't what ships are for
Love is for the making
And you were made for me
So batten down the hatches, honey
Sail away to sea
[Bridge]
It can seem insane
When they're a rain
Howling through the dark of the night
But when the stars come out
The darkest of doubts
Is nothing to the joy of their light
[Verse 3]
It isn't safe out there, and you're getting scared
And, honey, you got every right to be
But the time is now, so steady the prow
And go ahead into the mystery
[Chorus]
But lovers run to ruin
Soldiers run to war
Ships are safe in harbor
But it ain't what ships are for
Hearts are made for breaking
You were made for me
So batten down the hatches, honey
Sail away to sea
