Tim Arnold - Soldier On

To Rate
Look out the window, see a girl in the next block
Don’t speak the lingo. Your heart’s at the tips of her wings though
Look for a reason why – shouldn’t shout ‘I need you’
At worst she’d pull the blind. At best she’d grow old with you
Everything will come to us from others for…
‘To be… is to belong to someone’
It’s all behind the eyes, you’re scared of goodbyes
You wanted to leave but something just jumped out to test you

There’s so many reasons why we should keep on holding on
There’s so many people think they want treacle but it’s salt they want
There’s so many reasons why we should keep on holding on
She said “Soldier on”

Want forever? Switch it off and on. What’s forever?
What’s forever once you’re gone?
We’re not reading minds. We can’t change tomorrow
And all that never died kept laughing through the sorrow

You wanted to care. You wanted to ‘not’ care
Your head’s in your hands and a voice out of nowhere said:
“Soldier on”
