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
My heart is full of missing you
