Unnatural Progression

Was a soldier coming home
Was to bring my body back
Wasn't sure about the darkness
Heart was rambling on like any day
Just like any day

If I was to write
I don't mind, I don't mind
I might forget about it
Though my day has come it's already gone
Some would say it came too soon

Was a light bulb burning out
Waiting for my mother's touch
She wasn't there amid the thunder
I'll remember how it used to be
How it used to be

If I was to write
I don't mind, I might forget about it
Though my day has come it's already gone
I just need to get home

Was it something I said?
Was it something I said, oh lord?
