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
