It doesn't have to be pretty
It doesn't have to move the crowd
In no particular city
Just a clearing with little else around
It doesn't have to look steady
Don't really care on which side of town
I've been rocked and now I'm ready
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

It's more a holdout than a bust
Head to your knees and soldier up
It's too little and too much at once
I don't think they're water landing us
And one set of wings just will not be enough

It shouldn't have to be a scandal
It's not a missile you're trying to stop
I have been shook had more than a few shots
Been hooked longer than not
Don't be secret to me now
Are you roses or burial ground
I have been lost and I'm ready to be found
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

From where you are it must seem crazy
This weaving in and out of clouds
It's not an airstrike believe me
I am only trying to get this thing down
I am only trying to get this thing down

It's more a holdout than a bust
Head to your knees and soldier up
It's too little and too much at once
I don't think they're water landing us
And one set of wings just will not be enough
