Lyrics

[00:07.67] Stand down, son
[00:09.24]
[00:10.12] Start resting easy
[00:11.12]
[00:12.81] You've done your service
[00:14.25] I am proud to have you home
[00:16.72] And see you safe
[00:18.49] It's so good
[00:19.84] You look so strong
[00:21.05]
[00:22.86] In that picture on the mantel
[00:25.67] You sent your mom when you were gone
[00:28.44] But you look scared now,
[00:29.99]
[00:32.19] Hollow-eyed
[00:33.13]
[00:36.58] When are you coming
[00:37.67]
[00:38.94] When are you coming
[00:40.30]
[00:41.05] Back where you belong
[00:43.13]
[00:44.95] I swear that it's safe here
[00:46.76]
[00:47.95] Theres nothing to fear at all
[00:49.94]
[00:51.82] Come on back where you belong
[00:54.84]
[00:56.47] The pressure releases
[00:57.66]
[00:59.48] If you just put down your gun
[01:01.80]
[01:04.05] Everything rests on you
[01:07.27]
[01:08.78] You know that feeling well
[01:10.85]
[01:11.60] The ball is falling
[01:12.91]
[01:13.80] Falling
[01:14.28] Falling
[01:14.92]
[01:15.48] So far from a close call
[01:19.62]
[01:20.93] Your injuries aren't mortal wounds
[01:23.45]
[01:24.08] The only thing that's killing you
[01:26.96] Is what you saw and what you couldn't stop
[01:30.85]
[01:31.72] But you're not the one I blame
[01:34.08]
[01:34.76] It wasn't your mistake
[01:36.45]
[01:38.34] But you're safe now so come on
[01:40.74]
[01:41.55] Back where you belong
[01:43.58]
[01:45.65] I swear that it's safe here
[01:47.35]
[01:48.35] Theres nothing to fear at all
[01:50.38]
[01:52.58] Come on back where you belong
[01:55.58]
[01:57.07] The pressure releases
[01:58.51]
[01:59.76] If you just put down your gun
[02:02.27]
[02:04.20] It's the simple things Dad,
[02:06.82] I'm not hurt
[02:08.20] I'm not dead
[02:09.48] I just should be where my friends are lying
[02:13.31]
[02:15.56] And I didn't hate those that I killed
[02:19.96] But they're all dead now
[02:21.99]
[02:23.11] And I'm here alive
[02:24.50]
[02:26.19] With satellites
[02:26.87]
[02:28.89] And Friday nights
[02:30.45]
[02:31.71] And no one to judge me
[02:33.64]
[02:34.65] For the things that I've done at all
[02:37.52] So how can I live with that
[02:39.00]
[02:56.98] Back where I belong
[02:58.00]
[03:19.50] Take me back where I belong
[03:22.23]
[03:24.06] You swear that it's safe here
[03:26.17]
[03:26.74] There is nothing to fear at all
[03:29.05]
[03:30.69] Take me back where I belong
[03:33.70]
[03:35.64] The pressure releases
[03:36.77]
[03:38.59] If I just put down my gun
[03:40.91]
[03:42.55] END
