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
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
When the war is over, got to start again Try to hold a trace of what it was back then You and I, we shared each other's stories 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 ordered days All around is chaos and madness Cannot feel you're 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 shared each other's stories But just to think I'm lost in all its glories How can I go home and not get blown away
