Catch the Wind
Hannah Blaylock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can′t stop time
Mmm there's not a button for fast forward or rewind
You can′t change a heart
It loves who it loves and sometimes that's the hardest part
I breathe you in
The fall and rise
I dance the dance
I memorize
Take in the high before goodbye

Cause you can't catch the wind
You can try but you can′t hold the way it feels upon your skin
I know I can′t pretend
I was more than just a moment
Between where you're goin′ and where you've been
So I watch you go again
Cause you can′t catch the wind
Mmm

Some people change
And some never do no matter how hard you pray
I don't know why
I keep playing the same game, I know I lose every time

Cause you can′t catch the wind
You can try but you can't hold the way it feels upon your skin
And I know I can't pretend
I was more than just a moment
Between where you′re going and where you′ve been
So I watch you go again
Cause you can't catch the wind
You can′t catch the wind

I breathe you in
The fall and rise
I dance the dance
I memorize
Take in the high
Here comes goodbye

Cause you can't catch the wind
You can try but you can′t hold the way it feels upon your skin
And I know I can't pretend
I was more than just a moment
Between where you′re going and where you've been
So there you go again
Cause you can't catch the wind




You can′t catch the wind
You can′t catch the wind
