lyrics

METEOR
David Cagle / Jay Clementi

Still stuck in the middle of my own war zone
Surrounded by people but I’m still all alone
I’m still rocked by the mortars at night
The enemy is everywhere and nowhere in sight
When I was gone they hung my picture at church
All the prayers kept me alive, so I guess it worked

War made my soul dark as midnight and ice cold
Then I’d come streaking through the sky on a C-5 headed home
All the shame all the rage all that guilt all that pain
Would build into a giant ball of flames
And I’d come crashing right through our front door
Like a meteor
Like a meteor

I was lost and raging mad at the world
I never meant to take it out on my wife and my girls
By not being there even when I was
Not giving them what they needed most, my love

War made my soul dark as midnight and ice cold
Then I’d come streaking through the sky on a C-5 headed home
All the shame all the rage all the guilt all the pain
Would build into a giant ball of flames
And I’d come crashing right through our front door
Like a meteor
Like a meteor

I put a crater in their life I’m going to fill it in
I’m going to be the father I should been
I’m cooling off, the dust is settling
I never want to lose them again
I’m never going to lose them again


War made my soul dark as midnight and ice cold
Then I’d come streaking through the sky on a C-5 headed home
All the shame all the rage all the guilt all the pain
Would build into a giant ball of flames
And I ain't going to do that anymore
Not just come crashing right through our front door
Like a meteor
Like a meteor
