"Backup" lyrics

All of my demons at war
Heavy, the weight of their sores
I have a voice in my head sayin'
"I'll be fine", but he's been wrong before
Under that weight in my heart
Feelin' too tired to start
My inner voice is afraid
But I can't let that fear drive
(Whoo-ooh) With the stakes this high, it's a hell of a fall
(Whoo-ooh) When I'm worried, I know who to call

Call in the cavalry
The heavyweights
When I'm not sure about my getaway
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
To fight the enemy
The fear in me
When I'm not sure about most anythin'
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
Is on the way
Backup is on the way

Spinnin' like merry-go-rounds
Feelin' more safe upside-down
See, it gets to be hard when I allow for
Anyone to change my mind
(Whoo-ooh) With the stakes this high, it's a hell of a fall
(Whoo-ooh) When I'm worried, I know who to call

Call in the cavalry
The heavyweights
When I'm not sure about my getaway
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
To fight the enemy
The fear in me
When I'm not sure about most anythin'
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
Is on the way
Backup is on the way
(Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa)
(Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa)

I've been waitin' for a friend
Who's someone who can help me
Deal with this somethin'
I've been waitin' for a friend
Who's someone who can help me
Deal with this somethin'

Call in the cavalry
The heavyweights
When I'm not sure about my getaway
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
To fight the enemy
The fear in me
When I'm not sure about most anythin'
I'm not afraid to call
Backup is on the way
Is on the way
Backup is on the way
(Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa)
(Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa)
Backup is on the way
