Virginia - David Bazan

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
