lyrics

Do you wanna pick up where we left off?
Try to read the shadows on the wall...
The truth comes to us slow and soft,
We must stand still before we can stand tall.

But we can't stand here forever...
We've gotta move to get together.

'Cause its all about the weather vanes;
The wind will tell you where to go,
The end will tell you when you're there,
There's so much strength inside the pain;
These secrets that you'll get to know,
This love that you will have to share.
While you're up in the air.

Are you the birdsong, or the breeze?
Are you the soil, or are you the trees?
Are you the rivers, or the seas?
Or just a wanderer that's coming home to me?

We can't stay home forever...
We've gotta move to get together.

'Cause its all about the weather vanes;
The wind will tell you where to go,
The end will tell you when you're there,
There's so much strength inside the pain;
These secrets that you'll get to know,
This love that you will have to share.
While you're up in the air.

Well, you say that you've been "wreckless,"
Well, I have too.
You've got some shit that needs suppresin'?
Well, I did too.
But I found my way out.
I did it fair and square.
You'll find your way out while you're up in the air.

Its all about the weather vanes;
The wind will tell you where to go,
The end will tell you when you're there,
There's so much strength inside the pain;
These secrets that you'll get to know,
This love that you will have to share.
While you're up in the air.
