Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over

Got to get away

Pack my bags to no place

In no time, no day

You and I, we used each other's shoulder

Still so young, but somehow so much older

How can I go home and not get blown away?

You and I had our sights set on something

Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered

I've got plans for more than a wanted man

All around is chaos and madness

Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness

Only choice to face it the best I can

When the war is over

Got to start again

Try to hold a trace of what it was back then

You and I, we sent each other stories

Just a page, I'm lost in all its glories

How can I go home and not get blown away?

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
