Virginia

I grew up in the kind of place you have to passWhen traveling somewhere elseMy mother laughed more than she criedBut when she criedWell it was something everyone felt.VirginiaI've been baffled by the echoesI've been deafened by the sounds of that placeWhere they said we should dream of heavenAnd keep our feet right on the groundI don't know if this is where we're meant to beBut hey VirginiaWon't you spend your days with meI dreamt of skiesA quiet blue that laid to rest the pain of darker daysAnd my dreams collide with subway carsBut in my heart I knew that I was frightened for a changeMorning paints the bedroom in a faded greyMy hands remember yoursI drank because I could not sleepNow I can't sleep 'cause I don't drink no moreI don't know if this is where we're meant to beBut hey VirginiaWon't you spend your days with meNew York ain't so prettyNew York ain't so strangeSoon we'll both forget our alibisThen maybe we could find a way to changeI don't know if this is where we're meant to beI don't know if this is where we're meant to beI don't know if this is where we're meant to beBut hey VirginiaWon't you spend your days with meWon't you spend your days with me
