[Verse 1]
With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there

[Pre-Chorus]
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own

[Chorus 1]
Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

[Verse 2]
The unread book and painful look
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin
Oh, look what the cat's brought in

[Pre-Chorus]
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own

[Chorus 2]
Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go, let me leave

[Bridge]
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

[Chorus 1]
I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

[Chorus 2]
I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go, let me leave
Let me go
