We are the warriors that built this town Here we are, don't turn away now Here we are, don't turn away now, As a child you would wait And watch from far away But you always knew that you'd be the one That work while they all play In youth you'd lay

But now I'm dead in the water Time washing over Where are you now? You know it weighs me down Pressure building all around You said you'd never let me drown The sacrifice Sinking till I'm out of sight You said you'd bring me back to life

If this was the thing to do Call, break it off Call, break my own heart Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at But now we'll never know I won't be sad but in case, I'll go there everyday To

That one day you'd know my name But now your being brainwashed They never knew what my name was I fought up my corner, didn't I warn ya, A few years older now I'm singing ayo ayo Remember me do you do you remember me Make sure you remember me, make sure

And I know that you don't But if I ask you if you love me I hope you li-li-li-lie You look happy Flashing back to New York City Changing flights so you'd stay with me Now I wish we'd never met 'Cause you're too hard to forget

And I love ya When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm Through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Then I know I love ya Oh

Girl you know you got me to hold on to, We can go to town but baby if you'd rather, I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor We can go slow or make it go faster, Down through the woods and out to the pasture, Long as I'm with you it really don't

But now it's gone When you build your house Where everyone would love to drown It doesn't matter what for Then call me home Wait a minute baby Stay with me awhile Said you'd give me light

Two footprints, your footprints in the sand Lord knows you can't trust your head Thought you'd abandoned me and Let go of my hand But you were carrying me Carrying me to safety Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh When you're standing

Maybe I'm a fool Maybe I'm a fool for you You know what I'd do for you I know what you'd do for me You will see The truth in me Feelin' lonely in this room since I was seventeen Thought this bottle was supposed to drown my memory But I'm still swimmin'
