My Rollercoaster (New Edit)

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 rode 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

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

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

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

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
