Die Hintergrundgeschichte zum Song: This song is about feeling lost and scared for the future. It is about confusion and the feeling of not having a vocation. It tells a story of wanting to be carefree and wishing I didn’t have to worry so much about what my calling is. I wrote this song last summer and it has been an outlet for me in all my confusion and stress surrounding the future. I watched the birds from my bedroom window and was envious of their freedom, the simplicity of their life. Their vocation is simply to be. They don’t have to choose a path or find their place in the world. That is what this song is about. (I apologise for the lighting in the video)
Lyrics: i’ve seen broadway and hollywood but not the ones you’re thinking of
tell myself i’m no good but people tell me i should
go somewhere
go somewhere i’m almost there
swifts fly above my window
i wanna fly with them
dip and dive with them
they know who they want to be
no fear responsibility
they’re on the wind and they are free
i fear the future i fear the past
i feel this sinking feeling will always last
i wanna feel safe i wanna see my path
i want to know that life won’t always be this bad
swifts fly above my window
i wanna fly with them
dip and dive with them
they know who they want to be
no fear responsibility
they’re on the wind and they are free
birds landing on my window
they line up and they go home
swifts fly, they fly
and i feel like i’ll never be alive
it’s summer time
there’s no clouds the sky is blue
and i just wanna be like you
they fly
swifts fly above my window
i wanna fly with them
dip and dive with them
they know who they want to be
no fear responsibility
they’re on the wind and they are free
