lyrics

As the faucet drips I can't feel myself slipping away
Will I ever
Stare at the ceiling alone in my room
Counting the sheep that they cloned at a government party

Watching you march twenty-three years old
Into a world of dangers untold
A gun at your side and commands in your mind
Seeing a life collapse and unfold before your eyes

(chorus)
Now I think that it's too late
Please come home
From the acid rain to the smoke in the air
I feel so alone
Flag covered coffins arriving in planes
They don't reassure me and I don't feel safe
Watching the headlights flicker
By my window

Just in case you didn't know
Your little boy is now three years old
Will your ever get to see him?
Will you ever hold his hand?
Well his first word was, "Daddy?"
Because he doesn't understand

Sitting in a plane and waiting to leave
Hope in your eyes and a patch on your sleeve
Think of your family, can't wait to return
To a time and a place where explosions can't be heard
Will you make it back?
We don't know
Surprise attack as its time to go
You start to cry
Can't take another second
Emotions take over and you didn't expect it
