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 ung,
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
