David Bazan - Virginia lyrics
[David Bazan - Virginia lyrics]
Virginia I had a dream that
You invited us over
You still lived on the street where
You laid down for good
We all sat on the floor as
My kids swam around us
You smoked cigarettes like I knew you would
We were worried about your personal salvation
Was it Heaven or Hell that you
Saw when your eyes closed
You smiled at us floating
High above the question
Like you knew something we didn’t know
Virginia I had a dream we
Were closer than brothers
Singing "Pictures of You" crashing
Cars skipping school
We drove all over town as
The days blurred around us
We wore out your cassettes
We were nobody’s fool
They were worried about our
High school graduation
They read us a poem "Oh
The Places You’ll Go"
You smiled it off floating
High above the question
Like you knew something they didn’t know
You invited us over
You still lived on the street where
You laid down for good
We all sat on the floor as
My kids swam around us
You smoked cigarettes like I knew you would
We were worried about your personal salvation
Was it Heaven or Hell that you
Saw when your eyes closed
You smiled at us floating
High above the question
Like you knew something we didn’t know
Virginia I had a dream we
Were closer than brothers
Singing "Pictures of You" crashing
Cars skipping school
We drove all over town as
The days blurred around us
We wore out your cassettes
We were nobody’s fool
They were worried about our
High school graduation
They read us a poem "Oh
The Places You’ll Go"
You smiled it off floating
High above the question
Like you knew something they didn’t know
