  • 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
    Back where I belong
    Back where I belong
    Back where I belong
    Take me back where I belong, you swear that it's safe here
    There's nothing to fear at all
    Take me back where I belong, the pressure releases
    I just let down my guard Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANDREW CARRABBA
