lyrics

a half a world away and everything to lose
she tunes in every morning hoping he won't be on the news
and all these months of waiting, pretending to be fine
while a continual scenario forever loops in her mind ...
he arrives, and that makes everything all right

her friends don't talk about it - or is it everyone?
you take a common knowledge and conceal it like a gun
a secret we take with us, but a burden most don't bear
yeah she knows it's hard, but some things are impossible to share

she wishes he could come home tonight
and then they'd go out
just to look at the stars tonight
she don't care for stripes right now
and she only want to see him standing there
standing there with her own two eyes

they're sending others over, about 30 thousand more
their families go with them, even though they're stuck back home
and he'll get his replacement so the cycle starts again
it's easy finding losers but it's hard to tell who wins
