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 mantel
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

Theres nothing to fear at all

Come on back where you belong

The pressure releases

If you just put down your gun

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 and what you couldn't stop

But you're not the one I blame

It wasn't your mistake

But you're safe now so come on

Back where you belong

I swear that it's safe here

Theres nothing to fear at all

Come on back where you belong

The pressure releases

If you just put down your gun

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

And I'm here alive

With satellites

And Friday nights

And no one to judge me

For the things that I've done at 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

There is nothing to fear at all

Take me back where I belong

The pressure releases

If I just put down my gun
