Soldier

(album: A Book Like This - 2007)

I met him down by the bay,
he said life is a stranger
that wont go away.

He took me by surprise,
and I felt for the first time,
what its like to be alive

I'm a soldier,
but I don't know how to fight.
I'm your best friend
but I'm scared to see you tonight.
I'm the darkness,
but I want to be the light,
oh how I want to be,
oh how I want to be.

I met him down by the sea,
said I look like someone he knew.
I said I don't know anyone,
so how could I possibly know you.

He touched my hand,
finally I understand
what it means to be here with you.

I'm a soldier,
but I don't know how to fight.
I'm your best friend
but I'm scared to see you tonight.
I'm the darkness,
but I want to be the light,
oh how I want to be,
oh how I want to be.
