Jack Savoretti - Against the Wind lyrics

Seems like yesterday but it was long ago
Janey was lovely
She was the queen of my nights
There in darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn
And nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
And I remember how she held me, oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what
I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
We were running against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought
Were my friends i found myself further and
Further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were, oh, so many roads
And I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even
How much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for
Months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind hey

Well, those drifter days are past me now
And I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
I'm older now but still
Running against the wind
Well, I'm older now but still running
Against the wind against the wind
Against the wind against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
Against the wind
