I know I got it, yeah, I know I got it
A hundred miles an hour and I don’t know how to stop it
I’m usually quiet but I feel kind of brave right now.

I know you saw me, yeah, I know you saw me
Dancing in the light I didn’t feel the pressure on me
Until I saw your face in the crowd.

And we don’t talk anymore
Since the start of the war
Is it all in my head?
And I know it’s just a game
But if you put down the blade
We can work it out.
And I’m giving it a shot so

Call off the dogs
I’m coming alive
Wanna dance to the beat but you’re ready to fight
So take it down, I can pull ya down
Bare your teeth, I’m gunnin’ for us anyway
Call off the dogs, and move a little closer
Feel the beat and let it take over
Take it down, you’ll never cool me down
‘Cause I’m on fire but I’m never gonna burn

You know I got, yeah, you know I got it
But you broke my heart and I don’t know how to right it
When I find myself, will you still be the same?
I told you I’m fine, I’m doing alright
But the ghost is haunting me tonight
So I’ll call ya from a thousand miles away

But we don’t talk anymore
Since the start of the war
Or is it all in my head
I know it’s just a game
But if you put down the blade
We can work it out
And I’m giving it a shot so

Call off the dogs
I’m coming alive
Wanna dance to the beat
But you’re ready to fight
So take it down
I can pull ya down
So bare your teeth
I’m gunnin’ for us anyway
Call off the dogs
And move a little closer
Feel the beat and let it take over
Take it down
You’ll never cool me down
Cause I’m on fire and I’m never gonna burn

Cause I’ve spent too many nights
Loving fear and taking flight
Away from everything
I thought I’d change
And I think it’s about time
I face the fear and let it die
Remind myself I’m gonna be okay

Call off the dogs
I’m coming alive
Wanna dance to the beat
But you’re ready to fight
So take it down
I can talk you down

Call off the dogs
And move a little closer
Feel the beat and let it take over
Take it down
You’ll never cool me down
Cause I’m on fire and I’m never gonna burn

Yeah, I’m fine
I’m doing alright
