"Soldier Child" lyrics

"Soldier Child"

So good
To see you
See you again
I'd almost forgotten
What it's like
To be this tired

Hold my hand across the table
Act like you're invisible
And not just high
Unavailable
Now that I'm

Over
Smiling at you
Wild like a tiger afraid
I fought like a child
Soldier
Fights to forget
What it's like
To be home
Home

So good
To see you
To see you again
I'd almost forgotten
What it's like
To feel this pain

Hold my hand across the table
Act like you're invisible
Not just high
And unavailable

Now that I'm
Over
Smiling at you
Wild like a tiger afraid
I fought like a child
Soldier
Fights to forget
What it's like
To be
Home
Home
