Warm Winds
SZA feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Hey, hey glory child, hey
Addressing someone as a child of glory.

Hey glory child, don't you worry
Reassuring someone who is worried.

Stuttering, shaken off your fear
Encouraging someone to overcome their fear of stuttering.

Beauty's never given in a hurry
Beauty is something that takes time to create and appreciate.

So condescending, leave your questions here
Being condescending by telling someone to just leave their questions without expecting an answer.

I can see your skeleton so clear
Being able to see someone's true self, beyond just appearances.

Doubting's only made your visions blurry
Doubting oneself can cloud their judgment and perspective.

You're better off just looking in the mirror
Encouraging someone to look inward and focus on self-reflection.

Show me a better way, I wish you could
Asking someone for guidance on finding a better way forward.

Come home today, you could
Inviting someone to come home anytime.

I am shooting stars you will never see me
Being special and unattainable, like a shooting star.

Watching over your every mistake
Watching someone carefully, even when they make mistakes.

Digging out of graves is never easy
Getting out of a difficult situation can be challenging and take time.

Handing you my shovel, here to take
Offering to help someone dig out of their struggles.

Always playing catch me if you can
Running away from difficulties and trying to avoid them.

Gingerbread you heard I'm sweet to taste
Being seen as sweet and desirable by others.

Close your eyes let go and count to ten
Encouraging someone to relax and take a break from their problems.

I'll keep track of every moment wasted
Keeping close watch on someone's actions, including those that may not be productive.

Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away
Asking for freedom and a way to escape difficult circumstances.

Call your phone on a late night
Reaching out to someone in the middle of the night.

The clouds below your feet
Feeling like you are above and beyond the struggles of the world.

Quit clipping on your wings
Encouraging someone to stop holding themselves back and start taking action.

Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
Feeling conflicted about leaving someone behind.

Warm winds on a space ride
Experiencing the comfort of warm winds on a journey through space.

Sometimes, I call your name out loud
Thinking of someone and wanting to call out to them.

Just to make sure it's you
Double-checking that you are thinking of the right person.

Sometimes, I crack my veins open
Feeling intense emotions and wanting to express them physically.

Just to see if it's blue
Checking to see if your veins are blue, a sign of being alive and human.

You clean me up
Someone else helps you feel better and clean up your messes.

Long live, lonely thoughts on Thursday nights
Reflecting on sad thoughts and feelings while alone on Thursday nights.

That's when I think of you
Thinking of someone in times of sadness and loneliness.

We were all thirteen once
Remembering how everyone was young and naive once.

Long live tramp stamps and Pepper Ann
Acknowledging old memories and experiences, like tramp stamps and the cartoon Pepper Ann.

You will never judge me for that
Having trust and security that someone will not judge you for your past experiences.

You will always love me for that
Knowing that someone will always love you, regardless of your past or present.

Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds
Sensory experiences that evoke feelings of nostalgia and peace.
