You Get to Come Back

The past is not dead it's not past
Although you might think this will last
It's a good a time as any to take a long look back
I know I've seen a lot, ran to survive while others fought
Dodged some bullets heroes caught
You know I still took flack

These days I find myself pondering untraveled paths
It's time for wandering and to have some serious laughs

Well here we go again
Back where it started, come back before this ends
After the day is done
You get to come back, back to where it's all begun

I've made mistakes, it takes some time to realize what's in my mind
And then I start to see the damage that I've done
We've been eaten alive, took what we needed to survive
Now and then, we took a dive, skipped wars we could have won

And when we battled, well, you know that left us with a scar
Yes, we've been rattled
These war wounds make us what we are now

Well here we go again
Back where it started, come back before this ends
After the day is done
You get to come back, back to where it's all begun

Doesn't matter how long you're gone you can accept our invitation
It's hard to see when so much smoke gets in your eyes
You get to come back, replay this track and find some consolation
It's time to come back, it's time to see if we can rise

Well here we go again
Although your pulse has stopped you live like you did back then
After the day is done
You come back to life, a new life that has just begun
Well here we go again
Back where it started, come back before this ends
After the day is done
You get to come back, back to where it's all begun
