Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
All around there's chaos and madness
Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
[Verse 7]
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
