Tether in the Wind (wersja 2)

Verse

You were the current in the wire

Shorting out my heart's last fire

Every time you came around

I'd lose myself like water down

A drainpipe full of sound

You'd pull me up into your hands

Leave me standing on dry land

I used to think I was too free

That nothing tied me to anybody

But then I felt this line stretch out

Between us, like a living thing

Pre-Chorus

Is it safe to be connected?

Can we both stay intact?

Chorus

Oh, you're the tether in the wind

Keeping me from flying off again

Every time our fingers touch

I find my balance in your hold

You're the anchor I was never told

The only one who makes me whole

Verse

Your eyes are the same color as a stormy sea

And every wave of yours washes over me

I used to think that being on my own

Was the only way to truly roam

But now I see that being tied down

Is the only thing that lets me move around

You're not holding me back, you're pulling me in

Together we become something bigger than skin

Pre-Chorus

Is it safe to be connected?

Can we both stay intact?

Chorus

Oh, you're the tether in the wind

Keeping me from flying off again

Every time our fingers touch

I find my balance in your hold

You're the anchor I was never told

The only one who makes me whole

Bridge

Maybe this is what it means to be alive

Not floating free but anchored deep inside

Where love and fear both turn to tide

And the thing that holds you back, turns out to be the key to ride

Chorus

Oh, you're the tether in the wind

Keeping me from flying off again

Every time our fingers touch

I find my balance in your hold

You're the anchor I was never told

The only one who makes me whole
