[Verse 1]
Same table by the window
Tray sliding on the metal rail
You laugh with your whole shoulders
I pretend I don’t stare
Camo on your collar
Name tape I can’t quite read
Steam rising off your coffee
While my heart’s at ease
Then speeds
[Chorus]
I’m posted up in the DFAC daydreaming
Boots on the floor but my mind’s on you
We ain’t said a word but I feel something
Every time you walk in
It hits like truth
Mess hall noise just fades to slow motion
Whole room blurs and it’s only you
I’m posted up in the DFAC daydreaming
Wonder if you’re daydreaming too
[Verse 2]
You sit with your same platoon
I sit with my same crew
We talk about the training
I’m halfway listening
Watching you
You push your food around your plate
Like you got a lot on your mind
I trace the curve of your profile
In the reflection of the silver line
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
What if I just stood up
Walked past
Said “hey”
Let my fingers brush your knuckles
As I cleared my tray
Maybe you’d smile sideways
Ask me where I’m from
Or maybe you’d say nothing
And my courage comes undone
[Chorus]
