Air in my lungs

'till the road begins.

As the last of the bugs

Leave their homes again.

And I'm splitting the road down the middle

For a minute the world seems so simple.

Feel the rush of my blood

I'm seventeen again.

I am not scared of death

I've got dreams again.

It's just me and the curve of the valley

There is meaning on earth, I am happy.

Oh...

Oh...

Past alger brook road

I'm over the bridge

A minute from home but I feel so far from it.

The death of my dog

The stretch of my skin

It's all washing over me

I'm angry again.

The things that I lost here

The people I knew

They got me surrounded

For a mile or two.

The cars in reverse

I'm gripping the wheel

I'm back between villages

And everything's still.
