Music. Feelings. Music. Friends.
Oh, the long nights in the small room
With the big dreams, oh Indiana
You're only dying here
And they don't understand
Yeah, it's a tough road but you start slow
And before you know it you're not alone
Looking for a place called home anywhere
Oh Indiana
Joka aamu kun istun linja-autossa matkalla kouluun, tarvitsen sulosointuja korvissani. Jos olen unohtanut nappikuulokkeeni kotia, päiväni on pilalla. Rakastan rakastua musiikkiin aamu aamulta, päivä päivältä yhä enemmän. Istua synkkänä aamuna pehmeällä linjurin penkillä, katsella ohitse kiitäviä maisemia. Rumia, ränsistyneitä taloja, kauniita lumen peittämiä pihoja, isoja mäntyjä, poliisiaseman pihalla seisovia spurguja, jotka viranomaiset ovat päästäneet putkista ulos huono-onnisen illan ja yön jälkeen, idyllisiä rivitaloja, vanha kioski, alhaalla kaartava kulunut rautatie, kolmannet liikennevalot... Musiikki on osa minun aamurutiiniani, en kirjaimellisesti käynnisty ilman, että Rachael Yamagata hönkäilee ihania sanoja korviini, Melissa Etheridge potkii motivaatiotani kattoon, Brandi Carlile rentouttaa sanoillaan.
Oh, the long nights in the small room
With the big dreams, oh Indiana
You're only dying here
And they don't understand
Yeah, it's a tough road but you start slow
And before you know it you're not alone
Looking for a place called home anywhere
Oh Indiana
Time of day I can't recall
The kind of thing that takes it's toll
Over years and over time
Over smiles and over wine
All in all it wasn't bad
All in all it wasn't good
But I still care
That's the problem with the days
They're never long enough to say
What it is you never said
All the books you never read
I throw myself into the wind
Hoping somebody will pick me up
And carry me again
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust...
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home...
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until you disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...
