Stand down, son

And start resting easy

Youve done your service

I am proud to have you home and see you safe Its so good

You looked so strong

In that picture on the mantle

You sent your mom when you were gone But you looked scared now

Hollow eyed, when are you coming?

When are you coming? Back where you belong

I swear that its safe here

Theres 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 feelin' well

The ball is fallin', fallin', fallin'

So far from a close call Your injuries arent mortal wounds

The only thing thats killin' you

Is what you saw

And what you couldnt stop Well, youre not the one I blame

It wasnt your mistake

But you're safe now so come home Back where you belong

I swear that its safe here

Theres nothing to fear at all Come on back

Where you belong

The pressure releases

If you just let down your guard Its simple things, dad

Im not hurt, Im not dead

I just should be

Where my friends are lying And I didnt hate

Those that I killed

But theyre all dead now And Im here alive with satellites

And friday nights and no one to judge me

Or the things that Ive done at 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 its safe here

There is nothing to fear at all Take me back where I belong

The pressure releases

If I just let down my guard
