lyrics

I'll be fighting lions in a ring
Long after you're gone
And any other place would do,
Cause I'll know just where to find you
Locked up above in my head

And I promise to stay calm
When these days become a drag
And I promise to stand tall
But if there's any other way
Just please give me a call

And when you finally leave town
Nothing will be left, but the endless time
To think of all the reasons somewhere left behind

You're on your way home
But please don't get me wrong
I know, it's been a lot of fights so far
But there's still a lot to fight for

And in the end, if you decide to
Storm the front, not pulling back, not holding on
You're getting a big chance and you're getting alive out of this
But in the end, if you decide to
Take a rest, call a cab, grab a bag and not look back
Just let her know, she'll understand
