I know you thought I would go quietly but I never asked you for permission to believe in something bigger than us both. I think you owe me an apology. You left me waiting in the desert for the rain. I aim my mouth at the sky. Only to find my lungs have filled with sand. I let the sun burn me down before I let you inside I clear my throat. It's just a matter of time before you set something innocent on fire just to watch it run. So keep forcing me into survival mode I need to know what it's all worth. what it's all worth. I'll chase that dream down that same one-way dead-end road Until I find another reason to stay home and let it go. I will keep my eyes on the road and my heart to myself.
