You're at home, I'm away 

And if all I can say 

Is that this boy is still the same 

It's the man inside that's changed 

Front of the line but still behind 

Seems like I'm trying way too hard 

And like I haven't tried at all 

Hard as stone but feeling all the weight 

Feeling all the weight that's crushing me 

When you come around 

You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down 

Lifting me up above the clouds 



I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over 

Tomorrow is no guarantee 

If I don't return from this life of a soldier 

Don't you be crying for me. 



Throw this all away 

Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say 

If I had the chance I'd do it all again 

If I had the chance I'd do it all again 

Racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure 

Pushing you away so we can be together 

Carry me today I'll carry you forever 

Let's take a chance and we'll see if this won't last 

Hard as a stone but feeling all the weight 

Feeling all the weight that's crushing me 

When you come around 

You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down 

Lifting me up above the clouds. 



I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over 

Tomorrow is no guarantee 

If I don't return from this life of a soldier 

Don't you be crying for me. 



There's a car pulling up and the man who's inside 

Takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie 

It's nothing new cause he's done this before 

She knew it as soon as he knocked on the door 

Please someone please tell me I must be dreaming 

What will I do oh, I just can't believe it 

Taken away, oh he's 

Taken away 

Someone take me away 

Someone take me away. 



I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over 

Tomorrow is no guarantee 

If I don't return from this life of a soldier 

Don't you be crying for me. 



Nothing comes for free at least that's what the say 

If I had the chance I'd do it all again
