I love you
They say I'm crazy but will you marry me?
We'll have a baby
Call her Emma, Emma, can't you see
I've gotta run
I've gotta run, that's what I do
And she says, "I love you
"And far away I know you love me too
"But Emma needs you to be a father more than just a dream
"You know she runs
"From the memories yeah she runs"
I was born in Yosemite I'm crawling back into the womb
She writes postcards from the edge of the suburban life I left
Well I turn away from voices that I hear inside my head
And I jump like Eddie would ride and pretty soon they'll say I'm dead
But I can fly like Evel Kinieval, I can fly
I've got to fill the silence with the noise of life
Could I have been quite ordinary if I'd only grown up right?
I've got friends who will do anything yeah, I've got friends like me
I've got enemies who'd do anything to get me down on my knees
Well they track me and I hear them hot on my trail
And then I fall
And then they catch me, handcuff me, and throw me in jail
You know I fall
Well they track me and I hear them hot on my trail
And then they catch me, handcuff me, and throw me in jail
Well they track me and I hear them hot on my trail
And then they catch me and they tell me I'm going to hell, well
One thousand feet above the rocks and maybe this will make me bleed
I've got a wife and a daughter but no one in the world knows what I need
