Lyrics
Intro
Yeah, you’re just a medic Yeah Yeah, you’re just a medic Yeah, you’re just a medic
Verse 1
Three A.M and I’m wide awake Another call that I can’t shake Lights flash red, yeah, no time to think You don’t know how close we get to the brink We show up fast, we take control Hands on chest, we save a soul Then you sit there suit and tie Tell me what I’m worth tonight
Pre-Chorus
You say it like it’s nothing, Like I’m easy to replace
Chorus
I’m just a medic, that’s what you said Just a patch and a paycheck instead Just a medic, yeah that’s me First one there in an emergency Just a medic, say it again While I’m out here saving your friends You don’t get it You don’t see it I’m not just… I’m a medic
Verse 2
Blood on gloves, sweat on skin We don’t clock out where you begin Every shift’s a gamble roll Every call can take its toll You want degrees, you want more school While we’re out here breaking rules Keeping hearts from flatlining But yeah, we’re just “something”
Pre-Chorus
You say it like it’s simple Like it don’t mean a thing
Chorus 2
I’m just a medic, that’s what you said Just a patch and a paycheck instead Just a medic, yeah that’s me First one there in an emergency Just a medic, say it again While I’m out here saving your friends You don’t see it You don’t get it I’m not just I’m a medic
Bridge
You weren’t there when the sirens screamed You weren’t there when they couldn’t breathe You weren’t there when the line went flat But you’ll tell me what I’m worth after that Just… a medic Yeah right, just a medic
Chorus 3
I’m just a medic, that’s what you said But I’m the reason they’re not dead Just a medic, yeah that’s me Standing where you’d never be Just a medic, say it again While I’m out here saving your friends You don’t see it You don’t get it I’m not just I’m a medic Just a medic Medic
