Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of our nights
There in the darkness, with the radio playing low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire, out of control
There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
[PreChorus]
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it would never end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
But just running against the wind
[Verse 2]
The years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed
[PreChorus]
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all the rules I could bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
[Bridge]
All those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We found ourselves seeking shelter against the wind
[Outro]
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
