The Way Down

(album: Envy - 2020)

Don't look back, don't fear the change that's coming
Spent your whole life running
Now, dig your heels in
Battle-torn, but my head isn't hanging
I'll go down swinging, and you're the reason

You're used to excuses
So I'll save some time for you
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna win your heart, whoa-oh

I could be your hero
You could be my queen
I'll be your knight in shining armor
I'll be there fighting for your honor
I'm no Casanova
This ain't some movie scene
We could leave our cares behind us
Go somewhere they'll never find us
If my end comes defending your crown
Kiss me on the way down

They'll reap what they've sown
And we'll embrace the madness
Then we'll raise our glasses
And toast hereafter
You and I had one hell of a ride
History will show they tried
But ended in disaster

As cruel as it sounds
Sometimes it takes a fall from grace
To really know your place
And to know your worth, whoa-oh

I could be your hero
You could be my queen
I'll be your knight in shining armor
I'll be there fighting for your honor
I'm no Casanova
This ain't some movie scene
We could leave our cares behind us
Go somewhere they'll never find us
If my end comes defending your crown
Kiss me on the way down

C-c-c-color me shocked
They've got us surrounded
And now they're closing in
But, baby, don't be alarmed
I got you, I got you
She's wearing diamonds and heart
My queen is red with rage
I'm ready to engage
C-c-c-call off the guards
I got you, I got you

And I could be your hero
You could be my queen
I could be your hero
And you could be my queen
Kiss me on the way down, way down
Kiss me on the way, way down
Kiss me on the way down, way down
