lyrics

It looks like you’re somewhere out in West Virginia
In the old videos that we found
And you’re laughing and you’re singing
As you roll over the Allegheny Hills

And I hadn’t heard that voice before
But I’ve heard of it
And there’s a book beside my bed that I liked
Apparently it was your favorite

And I heard you liked to play the guitar
And I heard you liked to sing
And you’re looking out the window, the camera is shaky
Cause you didn’t know that we would be looking at these

There’s a picture of you in my parents’ room
And things about myself I wonder if I got from you
And people all over this town that you knew
And they all say how kind and how good you were to them

And I heard you liked to play the guitar like I do
And I heard you liked to sing like me
And you’re looking out the window, the camera is shaky
Cause you didn’t know that we would be looking at these

The videos are all from what looks like the 90s
I can make out your face though the camera is shaky
You smiled so wide at my mother’s graduation
And she now has the diamond you gave my grandma in a necklace

I never met you but I feels like I know you
And it looks like you’re somewhere out in West Virginia
