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  Take me back where i belong, you swear that it's safe here  Theres nothing to fear at all  Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases  I just let down my guard
