We’ve Earned This

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A long time ago you promised me a dance I shrugged it off when you held out your hand But I saw your smile and I knew you meant it Yet another promise and you kept it We swayed on the rooftop, the memories all flooded back A clueless childhood when you were all I had We laughed and shoved, ran and sprinted tripping through the halls You held my hand when everyone was scared of my claws [Chorus] We've earned this We've earned this [Verse 2] Not long ago I fought you hand to hand Fighting fights I didn't understand I was so complacent and you were oh so patient I had demons and I couldn't bear to face them But now we're home, our only job to rest our tired hearts No more fighting, no sacrificing everything to war Left in peace, finally our humble reward You're with me, the very thing that I was fighting for [Chorus] We've earned this We've earned this [Verse 3] We dance in the kitchen, reminiscing about our past And when I listen I revel in your tender laugh I'm forgiven, sometimes it's hard to accept that fact But you are willing, and I can live with that [Outro] We've earned this We've earned this We've earned this We've earned this
