[Intro] [Verse 1] She has a five-year plan hanging over the sink He's in the big city still fighting the brink Everyone's got their own mission to chase I lose another battle just getting dressed today I spill my coffee, always lose the beat Making beautiful mistakes no one can repeat [Pre-Chorus] They want guarantees and mountains of gold Building their castles where the sand won't hold I've seen pressure bend the strongest steel So without a word, I leave before I kneel [Chorus] How am I supposed to know where the wind will blow? How am I supposed to know where this life will go? I don't lose my breath, chasing someone else's dreams I open up my window and laugh again it seems Let them climb their mountains, it don't mean a thing, you know I'm knee-deep in the dust, so how should I ever know? No, how should I ever know? [Verse 2] Reading the headlines: "Make each day the best" "Buy a bigger house, polish up the rest" But those with bigger houses hear shouting through the walls That isn't peace at all, it's just a painted fraud I take my little silence and turn away No longer getting lost inside my thoughts each day [Pre-Chorus] They want guarantees and mountains of gold Building their castles where the sand won't hold I've seen pressure bend the strongest steel So without a word, I leave before I kneel [Chorus] How am I supposed to know where the wind will blow? How am I supposed to know where this life will go? I don't lose my breath, chasing someone else's dreams I open up my window and laugh again it seems Let them climb their mountains, it don't mean a thing, you know I'm knee-deep in the dust, so how should I ever know? [Bridge] Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I choose sleep Maybe they'll all say I gave up too cheap But I've seen wrinkles born from endless "have to" days When tomorrow steals your soul and slowly fades away I don't have to know... I don't have to know... [Chorus] How am I supposed to know where the wind will blow? How am I supposed to know where this life will go? I don't lose my breath, chasing someone else's dreams I open up my window and laugh again it seems Let them climb their mountains, it don't mean a thing, you know I'm knee-deep in the dust, so how should I ever know?
