Kimya Dawson - My Rollercoaster Lyrics






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 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

[whispering]

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 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'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 it's 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 it's unbelievable

  40. m.... e....

    This is amazingly creative!

  41. T.... ....

    I love the picture of the mom XD

  42. C.... ....

    The cute drawings going along with the song made me even happier :')

  43. J.... L....

    Her and Grace Vanderwaal should play together

    J.... L....

    one of the best ideas i've heard tbh

  44. S.... B....

    Her voice and the way she sings are so unique. So chilling :3 LOVE IT!

  45. I.... B....

    The pictures were cute

  46. S.... B....

    So many memories in one video.

  47. P.... ....

    Well *that* was a lot happier than some of her songs.

    P.... ....

    :/ True.




    Whistpers: watch my mom

  48. O.... K....

    you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday

  49. B.... ....

  50. j.... m....

    This is one of my favorite songs in the world

  51. E.... f....

    love it

  52. M.... P....

    Elephant ear haha elephanter.

  53. D.... ....

    She says an elephant ear, not elephanter. An elephant ear is a dessert. But great video. :D

    D.... ....

    DarkShadows713 😂❤️

    D.... ....

    Elephant ear is also a plant.

  54. b.... ....

    everyday that goes by...this song gets better and better. what is about you that has commandeered my brain?!

  55. K.... C....

    this song made my day

  56. S.... J....

    song reminds me of worst songs medley by garfunkle and oats

  57. S.... J....

    great video

  58. P.... �....

    I love how she just starts whispering a Metallica song at some point xD

    P.... �....

    Oh really ? I didN#t even realized that :D But know as you are saying, you are right! :D :D NICE :D :D Thanks for dat com

  59. P.... M....

    this video is such a beaut'!

  60. F.... ....

    I used to like this song as a kid. Now I ran into a song called 'on the road' and realized she might have stolen that piece off.

    F.... ....

    she has copied it, and Betty midler -from a distance...
    It is intentional though instead of maliciously done. It's like a combined song of fun and happiness :) it's what makes the song so funny, so don't worry yourself.

    F.... ....

    She also copied a piece from Metallica. She did a few mash ups in this song that went together perfectly c:

  61. H.... A....

    I <3 KImya dawson <3 <3

    H.... A....

    Your cool and a valuable part of the Dawson family.

  62. a.... ....

    I love when people sing without trying to sound super excellent. There's nothing like listening to someone sing with a beautifully trained voice, but hearing another human just sing and emote even when their vocals don't sound technically good is refreshing because most people who can't sing well don't sing at all.

    a.... ....

    Yeah I've always loved singers with "imperfect" voices and I think part of it is because I love to sing, but I have a horrible voice and I can relate.

    a.... ....

    look up Andrew Jackson jihad or anything Pat the bunny does. teen suicide is great too

    a.... ....

    @Ellis Dee Yes. You are right about that. ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD For sure.........

    a.... ....

    I love the way you sing. It's wonderful!

    a.... ....

    276 likes from people who sing imperfectly and love you now, including me. :)

  63. h.... ....

    omg yasssss

  64. H.... V....

    Brilliant.

  65. J.... R....

    I like going for hikes and riding bikes, playing video games in the mmiddle of the night...

    J.... R....

    my name is jorge regula, im walking down the street, i love you, lets go to the beach

    J.... R....

    Olive Kaye<3

  66. m.... a....

    i love you girl!!!
    you aura is totally punk rock,
    rock on! <3

    m.... a....

    +Loki Laufeyson I don't think OP's native language is English... She's punk as fuck, the music is punk as fuck, But the music certainly does not fall into the genre of Punk Rock. Punk is a movement, and a feeling, and I think OP was trying to say she embodies it.

    m.... a....

    This is not puck. Genre or movement.  It's not punk. She is not punk. Puck is not cute nor is it a title that can just be handed out to anyone. real Puck, and real Punks...are not cute and in fact are discriminated against to be honest. I doubt you are a real Punk and I doubt you know what real Punk music is.

    m.... a....

    You cant even type "Punk" so stfu you illiterate trog. I'm done with this thread. The essence of Punk is that you can't define it, you poser bitch. The punk aesthetic is discriminated against, certainly, but the thing about a punk is that you don't know they're punk until you know them. If you think extreme hair and piercings make you a punk, and being cute disqualifies you from being a punk, you're probably a combination of; 1) Highschool age or younger 2) Very stupid 3) Scene

    m.... a....

    Are you stupid loki?? I said "Your aura is totally punk" ... If you got to ask if you are punk then you arent. Punk is doing whatever the fuck you want and saying fuck the rules, fuck the bullshit, fuck society. And this song falls into those categories. NOT SAYING This song is fucking punk, im saying the feeling, and the heart behind it writing it is punk.

    m.... a....

    Yeah I'm stupid, what'ov it? got a fucking problem yo! You wanna start some shit yo? You wanna fucking go? Lets go! I'll take you to fucking Chuck Cheese!

  67. S.... R....

    Such a great video! And this is one of those songs that can take me immediately back to where I was when I first heard it. High school theater club hangout, watching Juno with my best friends. I'm so glad she gets paid for being Kimya Dawson!

  68. C.... T....

    how the hell did i end up here....

  69. D.... ....

    1:19 I WANT SOMETHING ELSE TO GET ME THROUGH THIS

  70. h.... ....

    I remember when I used to listen to this ALL the time. ~

  71. W.... ....

    I heard this on yesterday on KSPC 88.7

  72. M.... R....

    This is really great. Can't believe I slept on it so long...
