[Verse]
You want the stars without the sky
A bird that flies but won’t say why
You want the rain
Not the storm
The heat
Not the fire that keeps us warm
[Prechorus]
I see you chase the open air
I stand and wonder if you care
[Chorus]
Chasing the air
It’s never there
You hold a dream
It disappears
You want the world but not the weight
You take the clock
You skip the late
Chasing the air
Chasing the air
[Verse 2]
You want the tune without the sound
A spinning wheel that’s never bound
You want the sea
Not the tide
The truth
Not the mess where secrets hide
[Prechorus]
I see you reach for what’s not there
I shout but know you wouldn’t dare
[Chorus]
Chasing the air
It’s never there
You hold a dream
It disappears
You want the world but not the weight
You take the clock
You skip the late
[outro]
Chasing the air
Chasing the air
chasing the air
chasing me
