Jason Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"I love you dear," I have since we last
Parted, that time you had closed your eyes... Is it chance... or maybe I've lost my mind. I am not a thief, I just wanna steal your heart tonight.
Chicago's gone and taken you away. And now I'm left; the east coast - I'll say it - I'm sorry you left, I'm sorry I didn't move until it was too late. My tongue was tied and I could not say...
"I love you dear," I have since we last
I am not a thief... I just wanna steal your heart, tonight. I love you dear, I have since we last met. I am not a thief... No, I am not a thief. I just wanna steal your heart... Tonight...

The lyrics describe the singer's regret at not expressing his love to his significant other before they were separated. He speaks of two cities, New York and Chicago, where his love story took place, and how he wishes to steal his lover's heart again, though he is not a thief in the literal sense. The lyrics are melancholic and nostalgic, filled with a sense of longing and remorse.
The lines "New York has gone to bed, so put that record on. A year from now, I'm gone. But please don't make me say..." highlight the singer's reluctance to leave his love behind and how he wishes to hold her close before he leaves. He remembers their last goodbye, where he couldn't say "I love you." He wonders if it's chance that they're no longer together or whether he's lost his mind. The chorus "I am not a thief... I just wanna steal your heart tonight" is a declaration of love and a cry of desperation to be with his significant other again.
In conclusion, "The Thief" is a poignant and hauntingly beautiful song about lost love and regret. The lyrics are filled with a sense of longing and melancholy that captures the listener's attention and emotions.

New York has gone to bed, so put that record on.
It's late at night in the city and everything has quieted down. Let's put on some soothing music to set the mood.
A year from now, I'm gone. But please don't make me say...
I'll be leaving soon and it's hard enough to say goodbye. Please don't make it harder by asking me to express my feelings.
