The Wind
Zac Brown Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thirty thousand feet above
The city where I fell in love with you
And the fading country skyline
Brings an urban lullaby
That still rings true

When I passed you on the street that day
Shoulda let that rest gon' fly away
Like any chance I had of keeping you
Like the Northern wind a blowin'
Yeah, my lonely heart is frozen
Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too

Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did

Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love

The city lights look like a country sky
Like staring at the stars turned upside down
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find it in your heart to stick around
I hate it had to end this way
Tomorrow is a brand new day
And the chances here at love
Are precious few
If someone's out there waiting
For a sweet good timin' lady
To make you smile the way I always wanted to

Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did

Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love

So I fly all night
Our memory's my lullaby that love won't lie
If it's love done right
You'll be waiting on the other side
Arms open wide
If love don't lie, lie
We can fly

Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did

Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere
My love will find you anywhere




Anywhere
My love

Overall Meaning

The Wind is a Zac Brown Band ballad that talks about love, heartbreak and hope amidst an urban backdrop. Throughout the song, the singer describes their lingering feelings for a past love and how the constantly changing city skyline reminds them of their failure to hold on to that love. The first stanza depicts the singer looking down upon the city where they fell in love with this person, feeling a mix of emotions as they watch the urban landscape unfold beneath them. The second stanza reflects on the moment when they may have let go of a chance to keep their significant other, and how the pain of loneliness felt like a frozen heart. Despite feeling lost, the chorus gives hope to the listener, as the singer promises their love will find their partner anywhere, in the turning of the wind or the twinkling of city lights.


The lyrics of The Wind highlight a few key themes. The song suggests that love can be a tricky and elusive force that may sometimes slip away from your grasp. Even though the singer admits their mistakes and shortcomings, they still hold onto the hope that their love will ultimately find a way back to their significant other. The urban landscape serves as both a vivid backdrop to the story, with its country skyline vistas juxtaposed against the bustling city, and a metaphor for the transitory nature of love.


Line by Line Meaning

Thirty thousand feet above
I'm on a plane flying really high up


The city where I fell in love with you
I'm flying over the city where we fell in love


And the fading country skyline
The city skyline is fading and looks like the countryside


Brings an urban lullaby
The city reminds me of a lullaby


That still rings true
The memories of our love still feel real to me


When I passed you on the street that day
I remember seeing you on the street that day


Shoulda let that rest gon' fly away
I should have let that moment pass


Like any chance I had of keeping you
Like any chance I had to keep you around


Like the Northern wind a blowin'
Like the cold wind blowing from the North


Yeah, my lonely heart is frozen
My heart feels cold and empty


Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too
I didn't know I would end up breaking your heart too


Where the wind blows babe
Wherever the wind takes us


You can bet
You can be sure of it


I'll be riding high with it
I'll be flying high with the wind


Holding on for my dear life
Holding on tightly to survive


Just like I always did
Just like I always held on to our love


Close your eyes babe
Close your eyes my love


Take a breath, say my name
Take a deep breath and say my name


And I'll be there
I'll be there for you


My love will find you anywhere
My love will follow you anywhere


Anywhere my love
Anywhere you go, my love will be there


The city lights look like a country sky
The lights of the city look like stars upside down


Like staring at the stars turned upside down
Like looking at the stars from a different perspective


I wish I may, I wish I might
I wish upon a star


Find it in your heart to stick around
I hope you find it in your heart to stay with me


I hate it had to end this way
I'm sad that our love had to end like this


Tomorrow is a brand new day
Tomorrow is a new start


And the chances here at love
There are not many chances for love


Are precious few
There are very few chances for love


If someone's out there waiting
If there's someone out there waiting


For a sweet good timin' lady
For a woman who knows how to have a good time


To make you smile the way I always wanted to
To make you smile like I always tried to


So I fly all night
I'll fly all night


Our memory's my lullaby that love won't lie
Our memories keep me going and love is true


If it's love done right
If you do love right


You'll be waiting on the other side
You'll be waiting for me


Arms open wide
Ready to embrace me


If love don't lie, lie
If love is true


We can fly
We can soar high

30,000 feet above
The city where I fell in love with you
And the fadin' concrete skyline
Brings an urban lullaby that still rings true
When I passed you on the street that day
Should've let that red scarf fly away
Like any chance I had of keepin' you
Like the Northern wind a blowin'
Yeah my lonely heart was frozen
Never knew I'd find a way to break yours, too.

Where the wind blows babe, you can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holdin' on for my dear life just like I always did.
Close your eyes babe, take a breath
Say my name and I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love

The city lights look like a country sky
Like staring at the stars turned upside down.
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find it in your heart to stick around.
I hate it had to end this way
Tomorrow is a brand new day
And the chances here at love are precious few
Someone's out there waiting
For a sweet good timing lady
To make you smile the way I always wanted to.

Where the wind blows babe, you can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holdin' on for my dear life just like I always did.
Close your eyes babe, take a breath
Say my name and I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love

So I'll fly all night
Our memory's my lullaby
That love won't lie
If it's love done right
You'll be waiting on the other side
Arms open wide
If love don't lie
Lie
We can fly

Where the wind blows babe, you can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holdin' on for my dear life just like I always did.
Close your eyes babe, take a breath
Say my name and I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere, my love will find you anywhere
Anywhere, my love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love
