Wind
Wheeler Bryson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same as before, I want more
I want so much more
Made some mistakes, hard to erase
It's why I must be here
It's making some sense
All the pretense
That's what I feel inside
This is the time

I made up my mind
So hey, hey, baby

You knock the wind out of me
When I saw your face
That's all that I could see
You send my mind spinning
When I saw that face
I couldn't even breathe

You changed my mind
The minute I laid eyes
The minute I laid my eyes on you
Smoking a joint
We get real high, we get real high

You knock the wind out of me
When I saw your face
That's all that I could see
You send my mind spinning
When I saw that face
I couldn't even breathe

You knock the wind out of me
When I saw your face
That's all that I could see
You send my mind spinning
When I saw that face
I couldn't even breathe

When you gave me your hand
You opened my mind again
Draw a line in the sand
You opened your heart
Seen the start
It's time for us to run

You knock the wind out of me
When I saw your face
That's all that I could see
You send my mind spinning
When I saw that face
I couldn't even breathe

You knock the wind out of me
When I saw your face
That's all that I could see
You send my mind spinning

When I saw that face
I couldn't even breathe
