about

I suppose we, as modern humans, spend a significant amount of time sweating the small stuff. This song is really just a more subtle version of "Let It Go" or "Shake It Off" or "99 Problems. Yeah. Let that sink in.

lyrics

if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that it's always behind you...
pressing you forward, remind you of the places you dreamed you would go.

when you were a child...
the things that you dreamed took you miles, to the end of the world - 'round and back again.
your heart made up for things you were lacking in.

you let your circumstance clip your wings right from the start.
i found every feather and stapled them back to your arms.
you were bound and determined to live every word Conor was singing in his signature slur.
it took my a while, but i finally learned to let go...and i want you to know...

if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that it's always behind you...
pressing you forward, remind you of the places you dreamed you would see.
if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that your back feel breeze.

it was too long ago to remember things just as they were.
if memory serves - indugle me, girl - you took my love and played fast with the word.

you let your circumstance clip our wings right from the start -
you were destined to tear me apart -
there's no way around it.
you were bound and determined to live every song you wouldn't let me play you.
you strung me along.
it took me a while but i finally learned to move on.

if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that it's always behind you...
pressing you forward, remind you of the places you dreamed you would see.
if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that your back feel breeze.

i don't have time for your daily life.
i sure don't give a damn who you date.
i'm not sure how much of this matters by now, but i just learned the anger's a waste.
so i'm moving on...

if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that it's always behind you...
pressing you forward, remind you of the places you dreamed you would see.
if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that it's always behind you...
pressing you forward, remind you of the places you dreamed you would go.
if the wind's at your shoulders, i pray that your face never know.
