Windmill
Riley Pearce Lyrics

Let's make a deal
Let's come to an agreement

If I give you one last breathe
If I had only one breath left to take

Would you rob the fire from the candle's head?
Would you take away my last shred of hope?

Come out with your hands up swinging, fresh for the fight
Step up ready, prepared for battle with your fists raised high

Primed for another black eye
Ready to take another hit

Keep on facing the rain, charging at the trains
Pressing forward despite the obstacles, running towards the danger

Tell me when you're having a good time
Let me know when you're enjoying yourself

I've had better days; I've seen snow
I've experienced happier times; I've witnessed the beauty of winter

But not all in my hands can I hold
I can't control everything in my life

Well it all comes back around
Every action has a consequence

I know you're gonna be there soon
I'm aware that you'll arrive shortly

In the morning I'll be waiting there with a barricade I made of stone
I'll be guarding myself with a strong defense when you arrive

I know you'll find a way through
I trust that you'll overcome any obstacles

You always do
You have a history of succeeding in hard times

For what it's worth I had a plan
I had a strategy, but it may not have worked

Drawn somewhere in the sand
Written out, but not set in stone

Straight from the belle to the beast
From the most beautiful thing to the ugliest

Through the forbidden land
In the land that shouldn't be traveled

Welcome to my sideline view
Come join me on the bench to watch the game from a distance

I've become accustomed to
I've gotten used to

Lately I spend my time
Recently I've been devoting my time

Praying for an avalanche in June
Hoping for the unexpected to occur

Everything out of the blue
The things that come unexpectedly

Shedded itself to some kind of a truth
Reveals a certain type of reality

It's one hell of a view
What I'm seeing is an exceptionally beautiful sight

There isn't much more that I need to do
I don't have to add much more to it

How about you?
What are your thoughts?

So why do I feel like I'm spinning
Why do I feel out of control?

Or racing down a hill
Or moving too quickly towards something negative

Am I the unlucky leaf trapped in the wing of the windmill?
Am I the unfortunate person caught up in the chaos of life?
