"Backlines" lyrics

"Backlines"

You pull me in you take me down and what you want is what?
I love the colors of the road that lead me home to love
One, two, too many times you took to trip me up
Now that I know it's all you want, it's still never enough

Calling on the back lines
Climbing from the battle to the other side
If courage is a live wire
I see it in your eyes

Too many pills think they know how to keep a choke on you
But you've got power-pressure when I have too much to lose
The stakes are high, my mind is twisted and the pressure's up
At 4 o'clock awake, my head more dizzy than a flood

Calling on the back lines
Climbing from the battle to the other side
The courage is a live wire
I see it in your eyes

Running from the battle to the other side
If living isn't hard-wired
I see it in your eyes

Calling all the back lines
Crawling from the battle to the other side
If living isn't hard-wired
I see it in your eyes

Calling to the back line
Hiding from the shadow leave the rest behind
Courage is a live wire
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
See it in your eyes
