Come Back for Me


I watch you walk Out to the plane You turn and you look at me Before turning your back again And that's the last time I saw you alive Before throwing yourself Into the fight Eighteen months That’s how long you've been gone The calendar on the fridge Filled up for too long One mistake Could cost you your life I stopped picking up the phone And hope you're alright It's hard not to picture A folded up flag But sometimes, things happen so fast I wish that I could just Come and save you, But I guess, that's between God and you God and you I think about you everyday But I know it's the right choice that you made I know that you're fighting To keep us free But, please Come back for me
