[Verse 1]
Boots laced, lips glossed, roll call
You walk in, whole room stands tall
Name tag shine, yeah, you that one
Heart at attention like a loaded gun
Push-ups, I’m pressed, you the weight on me
Dog tags swing, got a sway on me
You say “move out,” I move closer
Crush hit harder than a hangover
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “eyes front”
But mine drift up
Trace that jawline, oh my God
If love’s a war
I’m all used up
Your orders hit me like a shock
[Chorus]
Got my sergeant on my mind, on my mind (on my mind)
Salute that body from behind, from behind (from behind)
I’d go AWOL for your time, for your time (for your time)
You yell “fall in”
I fall in line
‘Cause I’m a soldier for you
Yeah, I’m a soldier for you
[Verse 2]
Mess hall, you pass, fork drop
Can’t eat, can’t speak, jaw locked
You say “good work,” I say “yes, ma’am”
But my brain screaming “put me on the program”
Camo on, but you see through me
Read me quick like a routine briefing
Battle plans spread on the table
I’m plotting how to keep this label
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “stand down”
But my pulse up
Marching circles in my head
If we cross that
Thin red line
Would we lose more than we get? (mm)
[Chorus]
Got my sergeant on my mind, on my mind (on my mind)
Salute that body from behind, from behind (from behind)
I’d go AWOL for your time, for your time (for your time)
You yell “fall in”
I fall in line
‘Cause I’m a soldier for you
Yeah, I’m a soldier for you
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Chain of command say “Never mix hearts”
But we already sharing scars in the dark
You patch my wounds, then you walk away
I’m tryna read what you don’t say
[whispered vocals] “At ease”
You breathe on my neck
Say my last name slow like a secret test
If this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right
I’d take KP duty just to see you tonight (yeah)
[Chorus]
