In the back of my mind, you stay runnin' away
Took you to the bus upstate
I should have taken a wrong turn and made you late

Did you think of me on your way back to the city
While I was in the garden getting my hands dirty?
You make it so hard, you make it so hard
You make it so hard, you make it so hard
To breathe

I hear the power lines buzzing through the trees
They're singin' and hummin' for me
Driving cross country with Lucy in the passenger seat

We stopped in Almost Heaven, West Virginia hoping we don't freeze
You stay runnin' in the back of my mind, you never leave
You make it so hard, you make it so hard
You make it so hard, you make it so hard
To breathe

I want you to tell me everything, don't leave a single detail behind
You cried for the first time in front of me that night

And you said you've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
You've never felt more alive
Why do you make it so hard? You make it so hard
You make it so hard, you make it so hard
Oh, you make it so hard, you make it so hard
To breathe
