so expected
i'm in mourning
will i forget
can i ask

will you come home
if i'm home
i'm home

can i fight enemies i've never seen
can i miss someone that i've never met
it's maybe a dream but it's all that i have
so can i ask?

will you come home
if i'm home
i'm home

i try to be a grownup
i try to play the part
but every blonde girl in a short skirt breaks my heart
i've been waiting for twenty-six years
when will you come home to me?

a private without a captain
a captain without a major
a major without a brigadier
a brigadier without a general

this is war
a lonely war

i try to be a grownup
i try to play the part
but every single person that up and walks by just breaks my heart
i've been waiting for twenty-six years
when will you come home to me?
