Keep your helmet

Keep your life, son

Just a flesh wound

Here's your rifle.

Crawling up the beaches now

"Sir, I think he's bleeding out"

And some things you just can't speak about.

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down

Down

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out

Out.

Something med school

Did not cover

Someone's daughter

Someone's mother.

Holds your hand through plastic now

"Doc, I think she's crashing out"

And some things you just can't speak about.

Only twenty minutes to sleep

But you dream of some epiphany

Just one single glimpse of relief

To make some sense of what you've seen.

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down

Down (down)

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out

Out.

With you, I serve

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down (down)

Down (down)

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out (out)

Out (out)

Only twenty minutes to sleep

But you dream of some epiphany

Just one single glimpse of relief

To make some sense of what you've seen.
