Stand down son, start resting easy
Youīve done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, itīs 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 itīs safe here, thereīs 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 arenīt mortal wounds,
The only thing thatīs killing you is what you saw,
What you couldnīt stop
But youīre not the one i blame, it wasnīt your mistake
Youīre safe now so come on back where you belong
I swear that itīs safe here, thereīs nothing to fear at all
Come on back where you belong,
The pressure releases if you just let down your guard
Itīs the simple things dad, iīm not hurt, iīm not dead,
I just should be where my friends are lying
And i didnīt hate those that i killed but theyīre all dead now
But iīm here alive with satellites and friday nights
And no one to judge me for the things that iīve done and all
So how can i live with that?
Back where i belong
Take me back where i belong, you swear that itīs safe here
Theres nothing to fear at all
Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases
I just let down my guard
