Describe yourself in two words: I said there ain't no way.
I can give you a quick rundown if you want me to!
I'm not a morning person, but I like breakfast.
Meet me at the Waffle House, I can put you on my guest list!
I'm a night owl and Dee calls me her songbird.
I've been in love so you know that I've had my heart hurt
I am magical. I can change the weather. I don't watch the news. I could think of better things to do with my time. I'm from Virginia, better things to do with my tiiiiime. Alright? In case you wondered... I give you Chasing Summer

I’m kickin’ your door in and staring you right in the face! Tick tock on that rollie, cause I ain’t got no time to waste! Stop playing games with me, cuz Im not a Sega Genesis. I’m flyer than Pegasus. I’m drippin’ in excellence. You’re my arch nemesis.

Like a moth to a flame, regret that I came. As things stay the same the more that they change. My loves unconditional, the friction might be fictional between you & I

I’m dancing with my nightmare, nightmare. Dancing with my nightmares. If I told you my dreams, don’t think you would believe. So, I’ll just be right here, dancing with my nightmares.

It's the end of the night and everybody's goin' home.
Everybody but me, I just can't stand to be alone.

So maybe I'll loiter in a diner or two until they kick me out.
Maybe just maybe I'll run into you...but I seriously doubt that.
But I know...

Monday mornin's are for sorries and coffees.
I'm sittin' right here hopin' you call me
Monday mornin's are for sorries and coffees
If you give me you, I'll give you all me.

Sorry that I was defensive, can we forget everything?
Monday mornin's are for sorries and coffees
If you give me you I'll give you all me

Verse 1
Remember those nights we’d stay up late ‘til we get it right Jazzy? Thank you mommy Remember that drive up 95? No more bike rides with daddy
PreChorus
I’ve been on the Westside tryin’ to get my mind right 20/20 hindsight I’ve been on the left side, Oh Oh. In the dark I found my best light. I saw my life flash then I saw the light flash. Take the picture on my best side! Oh Oh
Chorus
Hey Virginia! Girl I missed ya! How ya been? It’s nice to hear ya! Is it too late to call? Hey Virginia! Girl I missed ya! How ya been? I’d like to see ya. Is it too late to call? Cause I’m a long way from home.
Verse2 L.A fast life is really nice but you can’t see the stars at night. You can’t see the stars. I ain’t got no jet, right? I’ll hop a red-eye and be there in the morning time! Oh I.
Bridge
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling hills, Cardinals, Dogwoods and Daffodils. West of the beach, just south of the Capitol. Move mountains with my mind and let my body be still. I had a dream Common came to the Commonwealth. He told me, get some of that wealth for my common self. I had a dream Common came to the Commonwealth. He told me get some of that common wealth for myself
PreChorus
I’ve been on the Westside tryin’ to get my mind right 20/20 hindsight I’ve been on the left side, Oh Oh. In the dark I found my best light. I saw my life flash then I saw the light flash. Take the picture on my best side! Oh Oh
Chorus
Hey Virginia! Girl I missed ya! How ya been? It’s nice to hear ya! Is it too late to call? Hey Virginia! Girl I missed ya! How ya been? I’d like to see ya. Is it too late to call? Cause I’m a long way from home.
