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 wer'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 itchin 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 makin' 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 makin' 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      (whispered)   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 cryin' shoulder   I'll be love's 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 rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs   as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable      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 goin' round its unbelievable
