"Into The Breeze" lyrics

Walking through my front door
I've been away a couple years
I've been chasing all my dreams
But avoiding all my fears
And I met a girl but she got too close
So I said, "Goodbye"
'Cause I'll be running from myself
For the rest of my life

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness inside of me?

Sitting in my kitchen, I've been caught inside my head
Thinking 'bout the past and all the good times that we had
'Cause I've been so many places, most of which I've never seen
I guess happiness is inside me, not living in some dream

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness inside of me?

Inside of me
Inside of me
Ooh

Why do these birds fly into the breeze?
Why do the open arms of someone who loves me make me wanna leave?
Why is it so hard to see what I could be?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness?
Why can't I open up my heart and feel the emptiness?
That's inside of me
