Correct Hand On My Back Lyrics

Lyrics:

I move through the world like an arrow that flies 
Slicing the air as I’m mapping the skies 
And way deep down the echoes remain 
Memories sounding like rattling chains

But lately I think I am coming around 
I’m liking the feel of my feet on the ground 
And last night I stopped dead in these tracks 
Recalling your hand on the small of my back

The slightest brush but as powerful too 
As an electrical storm that’s moving on through 
Then is gone as fast as it came, leaving nothing, 
Not even the rain

When I was younger how I took my time 
Folly and wisdom form points on a line 
From one to another with space in between 
For the lessons you learn and the dreams that you dream

But tell me what happens when dreams don’t come true 
How you overcome some things until they overtake you 
Why you never got chosen, why you never felt claimed 
By some passion or person that is never explained

I come on quiet but I’m fierce as a lion 
Life will take us apart but we never stop trying 
To proceed as if whole and intact 
Like I felt with your hand on my back

Nothing can catch me when I’m moving fast 
Even those rattling chains of the past 
So I’ll go like that arrow but with nowhere to land 
I am losing velocity, height and command

We all hit the ground, we all fall from the sky 
We burn up, we break up, we wreck and we cry 
But we’re bound up together by sight and by pact 
That begins with the touch of your hand on my back
