The Way Down

Don't look back, don't fear the change that's comin'
Spend your whole life runnin'
Now, dig your heels in
Battle-torn, but my head isn't hangin'
I'll go down swingin', and you're the reason

You're used to excuses
So I'll save some time for you
Is 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 shinin' armor
I'll be there fightin' for your honor
I'm not Casanova
This ain't some movie scene
We can leave our cares behind us
Go somewhere they'll never find us
If end comes defendin' your crown
Kiss me on the way down

They'll reap what they've sown
And we'll embrace the madness
And 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
It's not your word, whoa-oh

I could be your hero
You could be my queen
I'll be your knight in shinin' armor
I'll be there fightin' for your honor
I'm not Casanova
This ain't some movie scene
We can leave our cares behind us
Go somewhere they'll never find us
If end comes defendin' your crown
Kiss me on the way down

C-c-c-color me shocked
They've got us surrounded
And now they're closin' in
But, baby, don't be alarmed
I got you, I got you
She's wearin' diamonds at 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
