I think this song is about a young man who got wrapped up in his youth, broke the law and got put in gaol. He's now about to be released and he's thinking about a girl who he left behind.
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
Possibley refers to the girl who he left and how he's worried about what people (including his girlfriend) will think of him when he returns home. He's a so much older due to him reflecting on his recklessness before he was gaoled (grow up quick in gaol).
You and I had our sights set
On something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I got plans for more than a wanted man
Again, tells of the life plans that he and his girlfriend had before he was put away. He hopes that its not over between them due to him wrecking these dreams.
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 glory
How can I go home and not get blown away
He's saying how he hopes his relationship will be the same as it was. Reflects on his time in gaol when she wrote to him.
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
This is him saying that even though he's been away he still loves the girl and hopes it can be like it was.
This is my take on it if anyone's got better ideas let hear them.
