You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
|
It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
|
What is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
|
Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
|
When I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing down
|
And if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up booking house shows in their town
|
|
And if home is really where the heart is
|
Then we're the smartest kids I know
|
Because wherever we are in this great big world
|
We'll never be more than a few hours from home
|
And that's important because I need to travel
|
I've had this itching in my shoes since I was just a little kid
|
And before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound Bus
|
My mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"
|
|
And now I do and it's not much
|
but it's enough
|
I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
|
And now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
|
Knowing that you do them too makes me really happy
|
|
On the road again
|
Just can't wait to get on the road again
|
The life I love is making' music with my friends
|
And I can't wait to get on the road again
|
|
On the road again
|
Just can't wait to get on the road again
|
The life I love is making' music with my friends
|
And I can't wait to get on the road again
|
|
From a distance, the world looks blue and green
|
And the snow capped mountains white
|
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
|
And the eagle takes to flight
|
|
Darkness imprisoning me
|
All that I see
|
Absolute horror
|
I cannot live
|
I cannot die
|
Trapped in myself
|
Body my holding cell
|
|
do do do do do do do
|
do do do do do do do
|
do do do do do do do
|
do do do do do do do
|
I'll be your crying' shoulder
|
I'll be love suicide
|
I'll be do do do do do do
|
I'll be the greatest man of your life
|
|
'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes
|
And playing video games in the middle of the night
|
And I'll stay up late and I wont even care
|
That we're getting up early to go to the state fair
|
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight
|
Then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
|
Because we are alive so we've gotta live life
|
To the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights
|
Four five six seven minutes in the closet
|
|
You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
|
It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
|
What is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
|
Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
|
You go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
|
You know just when to jump off
|
You're so brave
|
And then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
|
And you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight
|
|
Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
|
Every day's a winding road yeah
|
My roller coaster's got the biggest ups and downs
|
As long as it keeps going' round its unbelievable
|
|
Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
|
Every day's a winding road yeah
|
My roller coaster's got the biggest ups and downs
|
As long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable
