Let me be your fortress, I'll let you in Hideaway your secrets, I'll carry them You're the one I've wanted to defend If you let me be the hero I've never been 'Cause our hearts can't cover the tracks We both see where we keep comin' back I don't care what you've said in the past Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress Let me be the war already won You can be the nation where I come from We can be the kingdom yet to come If you let me be, let me be the one 'Cause our hearts can't cover the tracks We both see where we keep comin' back I don't care what we've said in the past Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress Evergreens, evergreens all up ahead of me Blazin' a trail with the enemy textin' me You like the best of me, not all the rest of me Reminds of 70, put 'em amphetamines Forever don't know what it meant to me Everything anyone ever has said to me But you call my reverie, like you were sent to me Must climb to the mezzanine, stay till we're 70 Under the stars at 70 years Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress Fortress Out of the forest behind my door's a fortress
