Mouthbreather

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
