Lyrics Lover / Soldier - Washington

Lover / Soldier

Yes, yes, I know
Yes, I know that when you hear this, you’ll feel strange, I know
Still out of sight
But I’ve got this mouth that’s full of dynamite, tonight, tonight
Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own
I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me
I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy
So I survive
So I just try to get through and stay alive
You do the same
Do the same, I see you running through the rain
Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own
I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me
I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy
I got lucky when you said sorry
And I couldn’t stop now
If I knew how
And if it’s true what they say about love and hard work, well, alright
'Cause maybe people in love are all on the same side when they fight
And everyone’s raging and railing and screaming for war
But you haven’t got anything that I would fight you for
To fight you
Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own
I don’t belong to you, and you don’t belong to me
I don’t think we need to, 'cause it’s just so easy
Lover, you’re a soldier, you’re a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother, and you do it on your own
We can take our chances, 'cause we knew it going in
There’d be lots of dancing, but we’d never, ever play to win
