So you watch me float around
For two weeks straight
And the things you love will drown
With the things I hate
Oh well

It's only for a while
Until I get things right
Just let me dream all day
And stay up all night

I know what you're saying
When you're not really talking right
Who are you fooling?

'Cause I'm going forwards and
Looking backwards
Virginia
'Cause I'm going forward
And looking back
West Virginia

You live, you love, you learn
You lose, you gain
And you know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game

You know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game
You know you'll never win
But you can't even quit the game

I know what you're saying
When you're not really talking right
And who are you fooling?
Who

'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backwards
Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back
West Virginia
