Haley Reinhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my hand, child, come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Well what's to be, they say will be
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky
But the wind won't blow, I really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time
And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky
But the wind won't blow, I really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time
So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you, you need so bad
Well girl, the answer lies with you
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky
But the wind won't blow, I really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time
Ooh, oh
Well, the wind wont blow and it really shouldn't go and it only goes to show
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
My my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell
The first verse of the song talks about taking someone to a castle, where what is meant to be will be. It's about taking a chance and going on an adventure, possibly without knowing what the end result may be. The second verse talks about the potential for fun and the absence of anything stopping them from taking that chance. The chorus has the repeated line "catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky," which expresses the idea of taking off and exploring new heights. However, the wind won't blow, indicating that something is holding them back. It is ultimately up to the singer to make a decision to pursue happiness and take a risk or to stay stagnant.
Overall, the song's meaning centers around the idea of taking risks and not being held back by fear or doubt. It also touches on seeking happiness and taking control of one's life. The repetition of "catch the wind" symbolizes the idea of taking that leap of faith towards something new and unknown.
Line by Line Meaning
And if I say to you tomorrow
If I promise to take you on a journey tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
Come along with me at my side, as a symbol that you trust me
It's to a castle I will take you
The destination is an extraordinary place, maybe even an imaginary one
Well what's to be, they say will be
We can't fight fate, and eventually everything will happen as it should
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky
We'll fly, run away together and start afresh with no limitations
But the wind won't blow, I really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
The circumstances are not right, and it would not be wise to proceed, indicating that fate is not on our side
That you will be mine, by takin' our time
Let's progress and build our relationship gradually
And if you say to me tomorrow
If you give me a nod of approval tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
It would be so much fun
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
Nothing is stopping us from beginning a relationship, my charming one
But what is and what should never be
We should be aware of what is, and abandon what is not meant to be
So if you wake up with the sunrise
If you wake up in the morning, with all things seeming new and fresh as they do with sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
After all that's transpired, your dreams remain intact
And happiness is what you, you need so bad
Your chief need is happiness
Well girl, the answer lies with you
Only you have the solution to find happiness
Ooh, oh
Musical interlude
Well, the wind won't blow and it really shouldn't go and it only goes to show
The circumstances are not in our favor, hence there is no need to proceed
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna sail, little girl
Let's go with the flow, embrace fate and sail together
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
Musical interlude
My my my my my my yeah
Musical interlude
Everybody I know seems to know me well
People know me very well
But does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell
However, nobody knows that I'm about to make a big change and make a move like no one could predict

And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be.
[Chorus]
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time.
And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.
[Chorus]
So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.
[Chorus]
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show.
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna...sail, leave today
do do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah.
Everybody I know seems to know me well
but they're never gonna know that I move like hell.

This to me is the most underrated Haley performance. I mean fuck, who the hell can go out there and slay ZEPPELIN??? This is one of the best of all time to me.
Rick Memmer

Kaitlyn Senneker
I always loved how Steven stood up for her when the other judges were being too picky
Jess
@Space Cowboy I agree, her voice and personality are just amazing together
Space Cowboy
+Jess She is incredibly sexy and if not the best vocalist to pass through A.I., at least one of the best.
In fact, I consider Haley and Adam Lambert to be the best ever to appear on A.I.
Kaitlyn Senneker
Haha, that's very true!
Jess
Steven thought she was sexy. Haha he really liked her.
Patricia Tournear
Haley should have won that entire thing. I love her!
Ian Conery
She's one of the best American Idol contestants, she sang the best songs and has the best voice
Katiebean
You can tell that guitarist is so stoked to be playing Zeppelin
