| Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit – Overseas Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I think this is about a wedding that has gone sour and she's left it all behind. It sounds like the marriage didn't start out on solid footing, she looked "scared as hell" the following morning. Maybe they were young? Who knows. They tried to make it work, hoping love would be enough, but it wasn't. She left him, the marriage, family, and even their child. I think Jason uses the term "overseas" as a metaphor for her just being gone. She's vanished, started a new life in parts unknown. What do the people who know her know think about her past? Is she a "refugee" who feld an unhealthy marriage? Meanwhile, the singer is left asking these questions, knowing his love for her alone won't bring her back. | |
