Take the Shot
He calls you a centerpiece
A white picket fence to frame your room
He prunes your branches so you grow up nice and narrow
But he does it all for you
He swears it's all for you
So you grow up straight
Then you wait and you wait for the day that you'll break,
But you never pull the trigger, do you?
No, you'll never pull the trigger, will you?
Take the shot and go
Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow
Cause every time he crossed that line
A door had opened wide
Find the strength to journey through
And I'll be waiting there for you
Yeah, I'll be waiting there for you
Beyond that picket room
He swears to keep you safe
Oh those wooden walls, that he'll never say
Are all made of you
He gets it all from you
So you grow up straight
But you can't support that weight
It's not enough to build him up, he's gotta cut you down
Yeah, he's gonna cut you down, so
Take the shot and go
Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow
Cause every time he crossed that line
A door had opened wide
Find the strength to journey through
And I'll be waiting there for you
Yeah, I'll be waiting there for you
For you
He'll bleed you dry of every drop except the blame
He calls you darling cause he doesn't know your name
Take the shot and go
Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow
Cause every time he crossed that line
A door had opened wide
Find the strength to journey through
And I'll be waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
I'm waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
I'm waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
We're taking back tomorrow
(Take the shot and go)
A white picket fence to frame your room
He prunes your branches so you grow up nice and narrow
But he does it all for you
He swears it's all for you
So you grow up straight
Then you wait and you wait for the day that you'll break,
But you never pull the trigger, do you?
No, you'll never pull the trigger, will you?
Take the shot and go
Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow
Cause every time he crossed that line
A door had opened wide
Find the strength to journey through
And I'll be waiting there for you
Yeah, I'll be waiting there for you
Beyond that picket room

Oh those wooden walls, that he'll never say

So you grow up straight
But you can't support that weight

Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow

And I'll be waiting there for you
Yeah, I'll be waiting there for you

Take the shot and go
Don't look him in the eye
You're only taking back what's yours
Your fight, your light, your only life
You're taking back tomorrow
Cause every time he crossed that line
A door had opened wide
Find the strength to journey through
And I'll be waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
I'm waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
I'm waiting there for you
(Take the shot and go)
We're taking back tomorrow
(Take the shot and go)
