My Rollercoaster

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 rode the Greyhound bus
My mom would say, "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Darkness
Imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

[Verse 7]
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be dun-ah dun-ah dun-ah
I'll be the greatest man of your life

[Verse 8]
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 won't 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

[Verse 9]
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 are 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

[Verse 10]
Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
Every day's a winding road yeah
My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
As long as it keeps going round its unbelievable
