They can't be talking to me
this isn't real
how can i stop the nothing?
i'm just a little girl
three thousand miles between most of your friends
and you wish they could meet they have so much in common
and you can't believe that you are in portland
with your good friend from new york on vacation
the world it is shrinking, pathways intertwining
some of it's planning a lot of it's timing
suddenly face to face with jake and jack
you ask them to sing you their songs back to back
jack says "i'm alone but i'm not scared"
then jake says "i am alone but not afraid"
i wish i could be that brave
but the second person's always in the way
i tried to hide you
where no one could find you
but you were a baby and i was a little girl
they caught us and brought us back to their world
that's when i decided the only place i could hidewas in the stories and dreams in the seams of my mind
i was so busy dreaming, running from demons
i didn't even hear you screaming
yesterday you got an email from prague
that said me and my friends think your band really rocks
you can't believe it's all really real
you don't know what to say, you don't know how to feel
you think it's a joke just like in the sixth grade
when nick asked you out then he laffed in your face
you prepare for the worst when you go out on stage
you block out the crowd, you dissociate
the music's your blood and the words are your breath
you sing and you sing like it's all there is left
rock-a-bye baby, beautiful thing
don't ever, ever let them clip your wings
when the best and the worst coexist there's a fist fight
between what's left and the right of way
i hope you believe me when i say
things will get better give it one more day
it's hard to sleep when the lullabys are songs
you don't want to miss you could listen all night long
and you can't believe that you are in texas
and jeff lightning lewis is sitting right next to you
singing the song about the three quarter moon
you squint your eyes and look inside you
and the fractions and fragments all become whole
the music erases the pain in your soul
the tears in your brain that your memory saved
evaporate and skate away
The lyrics FOR KATIE of KIMYA DAWSON is also present in the album My cute fiend sweet princess (2004)
Kimya Dawson è una cantautrice e musicista americana, nota per il suo stile indie folk caratterizzato da melodie semplici ma efficaci e testi introspettivi e poetici. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '90 suonando con la band The Moldy Peaches, insieme ad Adam Green. Il duo ottenne un notevole successo underground grazie a brani come "Teenage Pregnancy" e "Anyone Else But You", che divennero virali grazie alla loro presenza nel film "Juno". Dopo lo scioglimento dei Moldy Peaches, Dawson ha continuato la sua carriera da solista, pubblicando diversi album di grande apprezzamento dalla critica. Tra i suoi lavori più noti si annoverano "The Rocket" (2004) e "You're Gonna Be Fine" (2013). La sua musica è spesso accompagnata da un'atmosfera intima e malinconica, che riflette le sue esperienze personali e le sue riflessioni sulla vita. Oltre alla musica, Dawson ha anche lavorato come attrice e scrittrice.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
