Seems like yesterday
but it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
there in darkness with the radio playin low and
and the secrets that we shared, mountains that we moved
caught like a wildfire out of control
til there was nothin left to burn and nothin left to prove

and i remember what she said to me
how she swore it never would end
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 runnin against the wind
we were young and strong we were runnin against the wind

and the years rolled slowly past
and I found myself alone
surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
found myself further and further from my home and i
guess I lost my way
there were oh so many roads
i was livin to run and runnin to live
never worried about payin or even how much i owe

oh then eight miles a minute and for months at a time
breakin all of the rules that would bend
i began to find myself searchin
searchin for shelter again and again

against the wind
little somethin against the wind
i found myself seekin shelter against the wind

well those drifters days are past me now
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 runnin against the wind
i'm older now but still runnin against the wind

well i'm older now but still runnin against the wind
against the wind
against the wind
still runnin
against the wind (x 3)
