lyrics

After I told you
I have bad dreams every night
You slept with your phone on
In case I'd need you on the line

I never called you
Though I should have
I don't know why
We stayed out in the country
Afraid to hop a flight

But that's all behind me now
That's all behind me

We went a-marching
I saw a boy with pistol free
He said keep it safe now
I dream he lets his bullets breathe

How do we sleep soundly
With tourists in our beds
Sometimes I wish I could call you
And talk about the men

But that's all behind me now
That's all behind me

That's all behind me now
That's all behind me

Guess you can go out in the country
But the country ain't a friend
So now when I wake up sweating
I say traveller farewell
