My Rollercoaster
Dawson Kimya Lyrics

You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
I couldn't stop thinking about you for most of the day

It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
It felt like I was losing my mind because of how much I was thinking about you

What is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
I'm curious about what it is that's making me think about you so much

Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
It could be your great music or your personality

When I look at your face I can tell
From looking at you, I can sense something special about you

That you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing down
I have a feeling you're going to keep striving and succeeding

And if we keep up this pace
If we continue at this rate

Pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid
We'll become so well-known that every child will know who we are

And every grown up booking house shows in their town
And every adult who organizes concerts at their homes will want us to perform there

And if home is really where the heart is
If home is truly where we feel most connected

Then we're the smartest kids I know
Then we're the most intelligent people I know

Because wherever we are in this great big world
Because no matter where we are in this vast world

We'll never be more than a few hours from home
Our home will never be too far away

And that's important because I need to travel
This is important because I have a desire to explore

I've had this itching in my shoes since I was just a little kid
I've always had the urge to go somewhere new

And before I had a mini van I rode the Greyhound bus
I used to ride buses before having my own vehicle

My mom would say, "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"
My mother used to say she hoped I could make a living through my chosen profession

And now I do and it's not much
Now I do make a living through my music, though it's not a lot of money

But it's enough
It's sufficient

I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
I have everything I need: entertainment, food, and a supportive social circle

And now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
And now there's you who understands and supports me

Knowing that you do them too makes me really happy
It's wonderful to know that you share similar interests and values

On the road again
Back on tour again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
I'm looking forward to hitting the road again

The life I love is making music with my friends
The life I enjoy is creating music with my companions

And I can't wait to get on the road again
I'm eager to go on tour again

From a distance, the world looks blue and green
The world appears blue and green from afar

And the snow capped mountains white
The snowy peaks of the mountains are white

From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
The ocean appears to merge with the rivers from a distance

And the eagle takes to flight
As the eagle ascends into the air

Darkness
The absence of light

Imprisoning me
It feels like I am trapped and oppressed

All that I see
Everything I can perceive

Absolute horror
Is utterly terrifying

I cannot live
I am unable to survive under these conditions

I cannot die
I am unable to escape from this situation

Trapped in myself
I feel stuck with no escape

Body my holding cell
My own physical form confines me

Do do do do do do do
Nonsense syllables used for emphasis

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be there to comfort you when you're sad

I'll be love's suicide
I'll take the blame for the end of the relationship

I'll be dun-ah dun-ah dun-ah
Nonsense syllables used for emphasis

I'll be the greatest man of your life
I'll be the best thing that ever happened to you

Cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes
I enjoy hiking and biking

And playing video games in the middle of the night
I also like playing video games late at night

And I'll stay up late and I won't even care
I don't mind staying up late at all

That we're getting up early to go to the state fair
Even if we have to wake up early for a fair or event

I'm gonna ride the biggest ride, it'll be out of sight
I plan on going on the largest, most thrilling ride

Then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
We can share a delicious dessert

Because we are alive so we've gotta live life
We're alive, so we should make the most of it

To the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights
Let's make the most of the moment and play the game spin the bottle with a romantic atmosphere

Four, five, six, seven minutes in the closet
Let's spend a few minutes alone in the closet together

You go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
You're not afraid of failing and keep pushing yourself to succeed

You know just when to jump off
You are aware of when it's time to change direction

You are so brave
You are incredibly courageous

And then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
You quickly change direction towards a seemingly hopeless situation

And you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight
You discover a new path that leads to greater success

Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
Life is a journey and I'm going to embrace it

Every day's a winding road yeah
Each day is full of twists and turns

My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
My life has its share of highs and lows

As long as it keeps going round its unbelievable
Even though life can be unpredictable, it's still amazing to experience it.
