Stand down son, start resting easy
|
You've done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, it's so good
|
You look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you were gone
|
But you look scared now, hollow eyed
|
|
When are you coming
|
When are you coming back where you belong
|
I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all
|
Come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard
|
|
Everything rests on you
|
You know that feeling well, the ball is falling,
|
Falling, falling, so far from a close call
|
Your injuries aren't mortal wounds,
|
The only thing that's killing you is what you saw,
|
What you couldn't stop
|
But you're not the one i blame, it wasn't your mistake
|
|
You're safe now so come on back where you belong
|
I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all
|
Come on back where you belong,
|
The pressure releases if you just let down your guard
|
|
It's the simple things dad, i'm not hurt, i'm not dead,
|
I just should be where my friends are lying
|
And i didn't hate those that i killed but they're all dead now
|
But i'm here alive with satellites and friday nights
|
And no one to judge me for the things that i've done and all
|
So how can i live with that?
|
|
Back where i belong
|
Take me back where i belong, you swear that it's safe here
|
Theres nothing to fear at all
|
Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases
|
I just let down my guard
|
