In the fireplace, there's a secret. A letter you threw away. In the cinders, there are words that I'll never hear you say. You said I was a runner, and you ran away from me. And I kept on writing and drying my eyes. I said eventurally, I'll settle down, And I'll be responsible and I'll be a man. I was pretending to be all that I can.
Lights in the distance, kites in position, This will be everything to me, and I will be sentimental, I will be kind, And I will be everything you told me to be.
And I will, I will, I will return to Ontario. But first I must sleep, first I must breathe, Air from another home.

In the cinders, there are words that I'll never hear you say.
You said I was a runner, and you ran away from me.
And I kept on writing and drying my eyes.
I said eventurally, I'll settle down,
And I'll be responsible and I'll be a man.
I was pretending to be all that I can.
Lights in the distance, kites in position,
This will be everything to me,
and I will be sentimental, I will be kind,
And I will be everything you told me to be.
And I will, I will, I will return to Ontario.
But first I must sleep, first I must breathe,
Air from another home.
