[Verse 1]
Same cot
Same boots on the floor
Same sand in my teeth
Same knock at the door
Wi‑Fi flickers
Like it’s breathing in fear
Scroll your old pictures
Just to feel you near
[Chorus]
I’m off this base in my head
But my body’s still stuck in this bed
You’re home, I’m a ghost in a tent
Spending paychecks on time that we spent
If I make it back, will I fit your life?
Or just your old sweatshirt and your late‑night cries
I’m off this base in my mind
But my orders keep rewinding
[Verse 2]
Late chow
Cold fries, warm fight
Write texts I erase
Every single night
Hear laughs
Down the hall in the dark
I’m laid out, wide awake
Counting every mark
[Chorus]
I’m off this base in my head
But my body’s still stuck in this bed
You’re home, I’m a ghost in a tent
Spending paychecks on time that we spent
If I make it back, will I fit your life?
Or just your old sweatshirt and your late‑night cries
I’m off this base in my mind
But my orders keep rewinding
[Bridge]
Tell me, are you folding my side of the sheets
Or filling that space up with someone like me
I signed my name on a dotted line
Not the one that’s cutting through your life
[Chorus]
I’m off this base in my head
But my body’s still stuck in this bed
You’re home, I’m a ghost in a tent
Spending paychecks on time that we spent
If I make it back, will I fit your life?
Or just your old sweatshirt and your late‑night cries
I’m off this base in my mind
Off this base, off this base (one more time)
