[Verse One]
Baby thank god you're here
'Cause my heads engaging in psychological warfare
It's like the trenches, my guts wrenches
And I just can't catch calm nor air
That mustard gas is caught in my hair
Now army fatigues are all I wear
My hearts on my sleeve and arms I bear
My weapon makes that empty sound
You're next to me with extra rounds
You're my protection on any ground
Any setting my defensive mound
I can be a crazy nutter
Panic sets in and makes me stutter
You hold my hand as I cross No Man's Land Dodging daisy cutters
Constant shellings a drop in the ocean
'Cause you're contagious laughter could drown out any explosion
Literally, if I got you, they aren't hitting me
Not physically, not mentally, you're my artillery
My side arm, you always stick to me
You make me fight and strive for victory
[Hook]
Yeah I know I've got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line with this girl
With this girl
With this girl
With this girl
Plus I know that she's the one I'd choose her over anyone
Any weapon, any gun
Enemies we're stepping on
Life line, without me asking
Life line, bouts of action
Life line, without retraction
Life line, my distraction
[Bridge]
When I'm scared you're there
When I'm lost you're there
Anywhere you're there
At any cost you're there
You're there, my support
You're there, everyday
You're there, I'm in war
You're there, in every way
[Verse Two]
You're all I need in battle, Edith Cavell
You send me cavalry with a piece beneath the saddle
Sometimes my thoughts are deep and that'll
Feel like I'm in a heap of shrapnel
You reach in and me you grapple out
I need you when I'm feeling fragile
You're my bayonet blade, in many ways you're my best mate
When my heads in a west state you're my neck brace
Keep my head straight
How could you feel like dead weight to me
We fight fire with fire
You're a live wire in all the best ways
I swear
If I can't sleep and my heart beats
To far to reach for my arm, speech
Is what you use to calm me, you're godly
I should call you an abacus
'Cause I can always count on you
Even when that Gatling thrusts or that semi automatic busts
Scatter! Even when I'm static
Just can't move 'cause I'm feeling panicked
[Hook]
Yeah I know I've got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line with this girl
With this girl
With this girl
With this girl
Plus I know that she's the one I'd choose her over anyone
Any weapon, any gun
Enemies we're stepping on
Life line, without me asking
Life line, bouts of action
Life line, without retraction
Life line, my distraction
Life line, life line, life line, life line
Life line, life line, life line, life line
[Verse Three]
The final push is at its fullest
Side stepping sniper bullets
This time my mind is nothing
Literally head rocked, shell shocked
Why am I being punished
Peace will ever I accomplish?
I'm mentally fighting, stressed
You're presence in my mind is blessed
We're ride or die in a cyclone yes
You're by my side when it's life or death
For the big push let me tell a story
I took a round to the shoulder
Awfully gruesome, wounded mortally
I'm torn up it's way too gory but Jesus I think she adores me
She's still posted by my side I look up and say I'm sorry
I can't continue I'm too poorly
All of my body is sore it feels like I'll be leaving soon
Flee please I implore thee
She ignores me, death or glory
Arms herself with my weapon
Zeros the sight and then shoots for me
[Hook]
Yeah I know I've got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line
Got a life line with this girl
With this girl
With this girl
With this girl
Plus I know that she's the one I'd choose her over anyone
Any weapon, any gun
Enemies we're stepping on
Life line, without me asking
Life line, bouts of action
Life line, without retraction
Life line, my distraction
Life line, life line, life line, life line
Life line, life line, life line, life line
