Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep your helmet
Keep your life, son
Just a flesh wound
Here's your rifle
[Verse 2]
Crawling up the beaches now
Sir, I think he's bleedin' out
And some things you just can't speak about
[Chorus]
With you, I serve
With you, I fall down
Down
Watch you breathe in
Watch you breathin' out
Out
[Verse 3]
Something med school
Did not cover
Someone's daughter
Someone's mother
[Verse 4]
Holds your hand through plastic now
Doc, I think she's crashin' out
And some things you just can't speak about
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
With you, I serve
With you, I fall down
Down
Down
Watch you breathe in
Watch you breathin' out
Out
[Chorus]
With you, I serve
With you, I fall down
Down
Down
Down
Watch you breathe in
Watch you breathin' out
Out
Out
[Outro]
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
