Half Step Down

Long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

 My song has not been sung

So long live us

[x1]

Verse 1

Looking out on a town called Suburbia

Everybody's just fighting to fit in

 Little rats running mazes, having babies

 It's a vicious little world that we live in

Looking back at a life on the other side

I realize that I didn't fit in

 Didn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it

 To my precious little world

Chorus

Long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

 My song has not been sung

So long live us

Verse 2

Breaking out of a town called Suburbia

I remember everybody always saying

 "Little brat, must be crazy, never make it

 In our vicious little world"

Still I'm leaving

Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity

Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be

 Take a breath, say goodbye

 To their precious little world

(And say goodbye to me)

Chorus

Long live the reckless and the brave

I don't think I want to be saved

 My song has not been sung

And long live the fast times, so come what may

I don't think I'll ever be saved

 Our song has not been sung

 Long live us

Long live us

Chorus/Outro:

Long live the reckless and the brave

 I don't think I want to be saved

 My song has not been sung

Long live the reckless and the brave

 I don't think I'll ever be saved

 I know, our has not been sung

 Long live us

 Long live us
