Whirlwind – acoustic version

Baby there's something you ought to know
I'm a whirlwind wherever I go
Blows through fast like summer rain
Leave my fingerprints then I change

Don't get tangled up in forever
I was never built that way
I'm a nomad to my very soul
Even love can't make me stay

But don't mistake my leaving
For not loving you
Some hearts need open highways
To keep shining through

I'm a whirlwind baby
Wild wind baby
Hold me soft don't hold me down
I spin your whole world around

I'm a sunflower honey
Golden in your hands
But by tomorrow morning I'll be chasing sunlight again

Love me wild don't cage me
Don't ask the sun to stay
If you leave the window open I
I might dance back through someday

I'm a river current baby
Never learned to stay in place
You can touch me for a moment
But water slips away

I grow inside your field of dreams
Bring color to your skies
But I wither when I'm fenced in
Love me free and I'll survive

And if I disappear sometimes it ain't for good
The wind comes back around baby
To the places understood

But don't mistake my leaving
For not loving you
I just lose myself in silence
When I stay too still too soon

I'm a whirlwind baby
Wild wind baby
Hold me soft don't hold me down
I spin your whole world around

I'm a sunflower honey
Turning with the light
If you really want to love me
Don't ask the sun to stay

Love me wild don't cage me
Don't chain my soul in place
The moon still pulls the ocean
Even from far away

Some hearts were built like houses
Mine was built with open skies
Got restless in my bloodstream
Moonlight living in my eyes

And I know I'll probably miss you
Halfway to somewhere new
But if love means understanding
Then let me move the way I do

Don't mistake my leaving
For the end of me and you
Leave the window open baby
I might dance back through

I'm a whirlwind baby
I always come back different
But I come back true
