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.

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:]
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.

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.

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
Wants to be a hunter again.

[Chorus]

[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 x2]
