Lyrics

VERSE
I almost died midair — 2003
But was born again; wore night goggles to see
Landed in the rocks; my left arm bled
Lost my canteen; just pushed ahead
If some village kid found it, that would be fine
It was just another thing what got left behind

VERSE
The Sunday I met you — 2005
I was born yet again; yes, I had survived
When church let out, you came over to thank me
For my service, you said, that keeps us all free
Your voice was soft, your eyes were kind
And I knew you were part of what got left behind

PRE-CHORUS
As I walked you to the door, I knew I wanted more
And since we’ve come all this way, I feel the need to say

CHORUS
(I know you love me,) (Now I love you very much,) but the questions you ask
I can’t answer — and keep control of my past
So love me in peace, and in quiet I may find
What of me is lost — what got left behind

VERSE
I kissed you on New Year’s — 2009
I was born one more time when you said you’d be mine
Now at home and in love, when I feel a little down
I return to that place; I still hit the ground
You ask me what’s wrong; I tell you I’m fine
You just don’t need to know what got left behind

Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
So love me in peace, and in quiet I may find
What of me is lost — what got left behind
