Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My father taught me home is where the hurt is
So I built a fortress
Where I lived alone
He said ships were never meant to have a harbor
So I've worn this armor
I've fought and flown
[Verse 2]
I was raised a soldier
Put my weapons down to hold you
Is a kiss an act of war?
I just tried to keep you warm
Even though I couldn't stay
No, you never looked away
Now I can't look away
[Verse 3]
Would you meet me in the middle?
Could we both stop keeping score?
There's a battle I must fight alone
It's you I'm fighting for
If I call off the battalion
Break my walls down stone by stone
Tear down my defenses
I can build your heart a home
And if I did
Would you come home?
[Verse 4]
Together we could quiet all the noises
Drown out the voices
Play our own song
Boys becoming men under the desert sky
But something dark inside
Said it was wrong
[Verse 5]
I was raised a soldier
Put my weapons down to hold you
Is a kiss an act of war?
I just tried to keep you warm
Even though I couldn't stay
No, you never looked away
Now I won't look away
[Verse 6]
Would you meet me in the middle?
Could we both stop keeping score?
There's a battle I must fight alone
It's you I'm fighting for
If I call off the battalion
Break my walls down stone by stone
Tear down my defenses
I can build your heart a home
And if I did
Would you come home?
[Verse 7]
I still find my father's shrapnel
Buried beneath my skin
But I've begun to heal in all the places
Your hands have been
[Verse 8]
Would you meet me in the middle?
Could we both stop keeping score?
There's a battle I must fight alone
It's you I'm fighting for
If I call off the battalion
Break my walls down stone by stone
Tear down my defenses
I can build your heart a home
And if I did
Would you come home?
[Verse 9]
Wish I found the words when we were 17
You were the best of me
You are the best of me
