Lyrics
[Intro]
I watched the wind
It missed the sky
Chasing its tail
Afraid to try
[Verse 1]
You trace the same old runway
White sneakers on the ground
Eyes full of other people’s
Maps you never drew yourself
You say you’re scared of falling
But you never even leap
You breathe in borrowed stories
And call that your belief
[Chorus]
The wind can’t even fly straight
It stumbles through the blue
So how can you go so late
Pretending you don’t have to choose
You’ll never leave that body
’til you’re burning through the rules
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
Without your soul
[Verse 2]
You fold your paper daydreams
Into careful little planes
Launch them from a window
Then hide from every change
But chaos is a compass
It wavers then aligns
The sky forgives your zigzags
It only asks you try
[Chorus]
The wind can’t even fly straight
It tumbles
Breaks
Renews
So how can you stay so safe
And still expect a different view
You’ll never leave that body
’til you’re burning through the rules
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
Without your soul
[Bridge]
Close your eyes
Step outside your skin (oh)
Let your doubt dissolve
Let the storm rush in
If even all the currents
Get lost
Then find their way
Why won’t you let your spirit
Be louder than your shame
[Chorus]
The wind can’t even fly straight
It spirals
It confesses
So how can you fake your fate
And never risk the wreckage
You’ll never leave that body
’til you’re burning through the rules
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
You can’t fly
Without your soul
[Outro]
So stumble with the weather
Miss the mark
Then realign
If the wind can’t fly in order
Why should you
Fly in a line
