Hit Me

So your condo burned down Your perfect things are ash and smoke Standing in this parking lot You're finally in on the joke You know what I see in you? A man who's never thrown a punch Never tasted his own blood Never broke free from the hunch... [Pre-Chorus] ...that maybe, just maybe You're stronger than they told you Maybe pain's the only teacher Who's never fucking sold you [Chorus] So hit me Right here in the face, don't think twice Hit me Find out what you're made of under all that ice How much can you know about yourself If you've never been in a fight? Come on... hit me Let's feel something real tonight [Verse 2] Look at us, two grown men Who've never tested what we are All that evolution And we're drinking in a bar Your caveman brain is screaming But they trained you to be nice What if I told you freedom Tastes exactly like split lips and ice? [Pre-Chorus 2] Stop thinking about your job Stop thinking what they'll say Stop thinking altogether And just give in to the prey [Chorus] So hit me Right here in the face, don't think twice Hit me Find out what you're made of under all that ice How much can you know about yourself If you've never been in a fight? Come on... hit me Let's feel something real tonight [Bridge] You can stay at my place (But first you gotta let go) Sleep on my floor (But first you gotta know) What it feels like when your knuckles Meet another person's jaw What it feels like to discover You've been sleeping through it all [Building instrumental - tension mounting] YOU HIT ME! And the world didn't end, it just got bright! YOU HIT ME! And look at us laughing in the neon light! Now you know something about yourself That you can't learn from any book You're alive, you're alive, you're alive All it took was one right hook! [Outro] Welcome to the rest of your life (Welcome to the rest of your life) Where pain is just another teacher And fighting sets you free Come stay at my place, brother Come stay with me
