Safe and Sound
An Obiyuki Week 2022 Day 4 Playlist (for @snowwhite-andtheknight)
Used some leftover Obi themed songs that didn’t quite fit into the other two playlists for the week and created another “home” themed playlist for the free day! (It’s similar to my previous playlist Found at Last, but with more lyrics about “feeling safe together.”) In the first few songs Obi has his usual doubts and is wishing for a safe place to be and then he finds his new home with Shirayuki after “You With Me.”

Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
Shooting Star- MUNA
I’m laughing 'cause I know I only just met you
But you're already spanning skylines inside my mind
And tonight when I closed that door, I wanted to turn back
But when I see a shooting star, I stay out of its path
And that's what you are, you're so bright
You burn my eyes and you move too fast
So I say “Goodnight, make it home" like I’m making a wish
On you, from afar
You, my shooting star
I know what you wanted because I wanted it too
To be in your light, consumed and erased
But your light doesn't stay, you take it away too soon
Then leave me hung over the moon stranded in space
I wish I may, and I think I might regret this either way
If I let you in my heart or keep you in the dark
So I'll love you from afar
Unsafe Safe- The Hush Sound
Don't open the safe is unsafe
No, you won't disarm my heart
The dial was rusted, vintagely constructed
To carry out thoughts of a small scale destruction
I saw this one coming, there's no use in running
Safe in the distance, ignorantly witnessing
Everyone scatter as I had a vision
A regret, you might say
A worry, you might say
You With Me- Jimmy Eat World
I don't stand a chance
Against the glow of answers
It's all been happening
Like they said it might
Am I weak if I want to fight?
What makes our love so hard to be?
Is it you? Or is that you with me?
For just the possibility
I'd have given anything
We play along, we sell
But only so much we can tell ourselves
Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
Pull like magnets
Cloud of static
The air between is punishing, but nothing happens
Scared to say it
Even to yourself
Am I weak if I want to help?
Wrong I'm certain
And it's sad to think of
Expecting different outcomes with a better question
Fear and comfort
Are both one the same
Am I weak if I want to wait?
That’s Where I Am- Maggie Rogers
I found a reason to wake up
Coffee in my cup, start a new day
Wish we could do this forever
And never remember mistakes that we made
I told you I loved you when we were just friends
You kept me waiting and I hated you then
It all works out in the end
Wherever you go, that's whеre I am
Boulders turn into sand
Wherеver you go, that's where I am
No, I'll never find another, no one else can do it better
All I ever really wanted was you
Underneath the Sycamore- Death Cab for Cutie
Lying in a field of glass
Underneath the overpass
Searching everywhere for a homeland
And now we are under the same sun
Feel it through the leaves, let it heal us
We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things
And this is where we find our peace
Oh, this is where we are at least
We are the same, we are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
You Are My Home- The Hush Sound
Please will you wake up
Open your eyes
It's the first day of a new life, you'll see
Why so hard to let me in?
You're the one I want to be
Trailing in the train rails
Going where the wind blows
You are young, you are wild, you are free
Sleeping by a green lake
Shelter- Eisley
Seventeen days with no breath at all
You fall off a ledge and your world dissolves
And no one listens to the sounds you make
And no one listens to you when you say
Save me from pain
Love, you are my shelter and
Love, you are my home
And one day I will be safe
But for now, love, you are my shelter
Diving like a crane into
Rapid water I've been in the deep
Nowhere feels like somewhere
When I'm in your arms
