Back to the Barracks Lyrics by Nataly Dawn

How I Knew Her

0

I shot you in the arm
It was intentional, or unintentional
My thoughts were unaware
This isn't our first wound
It'll look smaller in the morning
When the light reveals
The bigger ones still there
We get three good days
Then it's back to the barracks, yeah
It's back to the barracks
Feeling anxious, feeling bad
We get three good days
Then it's back to the barracks
Wondering if there could be better days ahead
Wasn't long ago we walked in fields of green
There were no mines between the places where we roamed
Now we just tiptoe as we both wait to cast the first stone
When those little god damn mines begin to blow
We get three good days
Then it's back to the barracks, yeah
It's back to the barracks
Feeling anxious, feeling bad
We get three good days
Then it's back to the barracks
Wondering if there could be better days ahead
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You shot me in the arm
I saw your face grow pale
And we both knew so well
That nothing had been won
We trigger-worn and wary
And the only thing that scares me
Is the thought that one of us could die alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Three good days
Then it's back to the barracks
Wondering if there could be better days
I know there could be better days
So here's to all those better days ahead
