Ian’s Song (Believer) – Good Old War

This one goes out to you, to you
Snake lady has eyes on me
The music won’t die today, today
It’s a fight to the death with an animal I can’t name

Will I choose the songs of my past?
Or will I keep my eyes on the road ahead?

I’m not afraid of leaving
It’s what I’m leaving behind
I’m a believer
Gun to my head, that’s who I am
I’m a believer
Just ’cause I’ll be leaving doesn’t mean I’ll be gone

If I had to chart out my whole life
Mark the highs and lows
I know my time with you was well spent
With our favorite casserole

If this means it has to be our last meal on earth
Don’t make me choose between the chocolate and cheese
‘Cause life’s too short

I’m not afraid of leaving
It’s what I’m leaving behind
I’m a believer
Gun to my head, that’s who I am
I’m a believer
Just ’cause I’ll be leaving doesn’t mean I’ll be gone

So is the end, the end of my
Karen Carpenter story?
Am I deaf or blind or something
Something in between?

I thought the world, I thought the world was our oyster
Maybe I, maybe I was wrong
I think of you and I think of me
You take the lead, I’ll take the harmony
‘Cause life’s too short

I’m not afraid of leaving
It’s what I’m leaving behind
I’m a believer
Gun to my head, that’s who I am
I’m a believer
Just ’cause I’ll be leaving doesn’t mean I’ll be gone
Just ’cause I’ll be leaving doesn’t mean I’ll be gone
Oh now that I’m leaving doesn’t mean I’ll be gone
