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 minivan i rode the greyhound bus
my mom would say "i hope someday 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 making 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 making 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
darkness imprisoning me, all that i see, absolute horror
i cannot live, i cannot die, trapped in myself, body my holding...
doot doot doot, doot doodoo doooo, doot doot doot, doot doodoo doooo
doot doot doot, doot doodoo doooo, doot doot doot, doot doodoo doooo
i'll be your crying shoulder, i'll be love's suicide
i'll be... *dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh*, i'll be the greatest man of your life
'cause i like going for hikes and riding bikes
playing videogames in the middle of the night
and i'll stay up late, and we 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
and i'll share an (elephinter?) with you if you 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
then you run to the right, it seems like there's no hope in sight
then you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight
life is a highway and i'm gonna ride it, and every day's a winding road yeah
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
as long as it keeps going round it's unbelievable
life is a highway and i'm gonna ride it, and every day's a winding road yeah
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
as long as it keeps going round it's unbelievable
