lyrics

Another doubt in the back of your mind
Is about to demand that you take another life
If he’s too self-righteous to fight
Then you can never be safe
So take a shot, take your best shot
Fire away and take a hold of his name
And bring it down, bring it all down
Get in the way but we warn you
Say you’re with me, say you want a change

We understand the road, we stumble as we go
Hang on to hope, living in the sweet hereafter
With every waking breath, we take another step
We’re almost home. Living in the sweet hereafter

Another lie on the tip of your tongue
Is designed to eat away at their faith
Another dose and it seemed so simple to most
But they will never find grace
So take a shot, take your best shot
Swing and a miss and now you’re starting to fade
Bring it on, bring it on
You’re better than this and we love you
Say you’re with me, say you want a change

We understand the road, we stumble as we go
Hang on to hope, living in the sweet hereafter
With every waking breath, we take another step
We’re almost home. Living in the sweet hereafter

And I know by the things that you do you can save me
And I know by the way that you move that you’ll bring them back to you
And I know that you don’t have to prove that you love me
And I’m sorry I doubted you
Say you’re with me, say you want a change
