Nowhere Air
Let's run.
 Let's run down the halls and out the door
 Let's forget our shoes.
 Let's tear down those streets until our hearts pound and our feet hurt, and let's keep going
 Let's get lost.
 Let's pass our boundaries
 Let's feel our breath pushed back against our faces, far too warm on this night
 Let's not care.
 Let's let streetlights zoom by until we don't even recognise the names they illuminate
 Let's leave our town behind.
 Let's run beside the river and feel the sand under our toes
 Let's pass that swing-set we sat on once and let's remember how the moon was full then like it is full tonight
 Let's wonder if the moon can ever be so full it bursts
 Let's run right past the forest and shield our eyes from all the branches
 Let's just go and go and go.
 Let's free ourselves from everything
 And stand on those far, far shores we dream about
 And look back on our lives
 In those bright city lights
 And even though our chests ache
 Let's laugh
 At just how crazy it all is.
 And since we're out there,
 In the middle of nowhere,
 Let's watch the stars
 And let's just breathe
 The nowhere air.
