Overseas Lyrics
This used to be a ghost town, but even the ghosts got out
And the sound of the highway died, there's ashes in the swimming pool
I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleepin in my arms
You didn't wash your makeup off and you woke up lookin' scared as hell
My love won't change
My love won't change
My love won't change a thing
You're never coming back to me
You're never coming back at all
And the waiter made a young girl cry
At the table next to mine tonight
And I know you would've brought him to his knees
But you're overseas
Doesn't seem so long ago we thought that we could change their minds
We'd stay here and fight it out with a love that we could weaponize
But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light when out
You know what revolution means and you know it's not an option now
And our love won't change
Our love won't change
Our love won't change a thing
I couldn't leave my father here to finish up his life alone
And I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night when she caught me in a lie
And I need you here to make both of us believe
But you're overseas
Does your heart rest easy where you are?
And do they treat you like a star?
Or do they call you a refugee
From overseas
And the sound of the highway died, there's ashes in the swimming pool
I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleepin in my arms
You didn't wash your makeup off and you woke up lookin' scared as hell
My love won't change
My love won't change a thing
You're never coming back to me
You're never coming back at all
At the table next to mine tonight
And I know you would've brought him to his knees
But you're overseas
We'd stay here and fight it out with a love that we could weaponize
But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light when out
You know what revolution means and you know it's not an option now
Our love won't change
Our love won't change a thing
And I need you here to make both of us believe
But you're overseas
And do they treat you like a star?
Or do they call you a refugee
From overseas
What was he really singing about?
