Dukes -

I’m the typical

Running-from-my-battles

Keep it quiet

No flying off the handle

You’re tougher

Confident encounter

You’re gonna break the rules

Just because you wanna

I’m nervous

Just keep it on the surface

Don’t wanna stir the pot

Or admit i’m jealous

Calm down

It’s safer on the ground

If it doesn’t keep the peace

Don’t say it out loud

I wanted to resist this

Love affair with conflict

I got my share of wounds

I don’t need them from you

No matter how i fight this

You’ve showed me that you’re worth it

So let’s start a war

‘cause you’re worth fighting for

C’mon over and we’ll settle it right

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you

I’ll fight for you

Don’t want the pain but i’ll take it stride

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you

Don’t want a

Big ego

They tell us when we’re little

It’s better to be quiet and to not cause trouble

Sit pretty

Keep everybody happy

Don’t speak up, you don’t wanna be bossy

You came along

Broke it all down

You saw fire and you didn’t wanna put it out

No crutches

I’m rolling with the punches

We flicker like a flame burning everything it touches

I wanted to resist this

Love affair with conflict

I got my share of wounds

I don’t need them from you

No matter how i fight this

You’ve showed me that you’re worth it

So let’s start a war

‘cause you’re worth fighting for

C’mon over and we’ll settle it right

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you

I’ll fight for you

Don’t want the pain but i’ll take it stride

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you

If i turn away now

Do i lose this battle?

Will you stay around

If i back down?

If i back down?

Or do you wanna fair fight

Because i’m your equal?

You wanna get in my mind

Know what i’m like, oh

I wanted to embrace this

Boring lack of conflict

But that was all before

C’mon over and we’ll settle it right

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you

I’ll fight for you

Don’t want the pain but i’ll take it stride

Put your dukes up ‘cause i’m ready to fight

For you
