[Verse 1] Getting up is easy when you're first to get the message That it's time to put your money where your mouth is today But if your friends are all asleep and you got pillows on your feet Then your objectives will be lost, you will float on away [Chorus] When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To break down these walls and jump When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To show you the brave don't run Don't run [Verse 2] A proper cup of coffee from a proper coffee shop Was all I needed to get a little purpose in life Well, the reasons are clear, my bearings aren't there My compass points me in the wrong direction all night [Chorus] But when the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To break down these walls and jump When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To show you the brave don't run Don't run [Bridge] They said I bet you'll never make it on your own They said I bet you'll never learn this, no, no, no, no They said I bet you'll never get this No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To break down these walls and jump When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason To show you the brave don't run [Chorus] When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for a reason (When the cavalry comes) To break down these walls and jump (When the cavalry comes) You'll find us looking for a reason (When the cavalry comes) To show you the brave don't run [Overlapping] When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for love On every street corner and circus in the city tonight When the cavalry comes You'll find us looking for trouble With the jocks and the disciples of the new modern light
