Overseas

This used to be a ghost town

But even the ghosts got out

And the sound of the highway died

There's ashes in the swimming pool

I saw you on your wedding night

And I watched you sleeping in my arms

You didn't wash your make-up off

And you woke up looking scared as hell

My love won't change

My love won't change

My love won't change a thing

You're never coming back to me

You're never coming back at all

And the waiter made a young girl cry

At the table next to mine tonight

And I know you would have brought him to his knees

But you're overseas

Doesn't seem so long ago

When we thought that we could change their minds

We'd stay here and fight it out

With a love that we could weaponize

But I saw you losing faith and

I was watching when the light went out

You know what revolution means

And you know it's not an option now

And our love won't change

Our love won't change

Our love won't change a thing

I couldn't leave my father here

To finish up his life alone

And I saw you in our daughters eyes last night

When she caught me in a lie

And I need you here to make both of us believe

But you're overseas

Does your heart rest easy where you are?

And do they treat you like a star?

Or do they call you refugee?

From overseas
