Overseas

Lyrics

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 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 daughter's 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?
