[Verse 1]
Keep your helmet, keep your life, son
Just a flesh wound, here's your rifle
[Reprise 1]
Crawling up the beaches now
"Sir, I think he's bleeding 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 breathing out, out
[Verse 2]
Something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
[Reprise 1]
Holds your hand through plastic now
"Doc, I think she's crashing 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
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out
With you I serve, with you I fall down , down
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out
[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
