My lungs are full of diesel fumes
My heart is full of missing you
Tried to go to the roof to get closer to the sky
So tired I can't sleep I'm separating stars from city lights
But my little home is not as high as these other buildings
I heard they're supposed to scrape the sky but I think they're missing
I'm missing a place there's no replacing
Where she's listening to crickets sing
I can only hear this TV humming
It's dark in VT tonight
Too bright in this fake light
Gonna drive all night leave the concrete in my dust
Gonna cool my feet in mountain streams til I've had enough
Take a long run sweat the city out of my blood
The water runs its race so fast and hard
Just to end up right back where it started
The harder I try to hold
The faster it goes
I've been breathing out more than I've been breathing in
Gonna head straight home til I find myself a second wind
I thought by now I'd have a little more figured out
Had a mouthful of wisdom once but someone pulled it out
So I'm going back
Hide and seek until I find it
My lungs are full of diesel fumes
My heart is full of missing you
