My Rollercoaster Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

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
