about

Virginia embodies not only a vivid loving image of the state but endures a soulful reconciliation. The song itself was inspired largely by aspects of Sam's childhood which can relate to many that seek to acknowledge a coming of age in their youth. It embraces struggles such as divorce, loneliness, moving out, and learning how to take the proper steps to becoming who you are and accepting that in full. The first real event to spark a break was when the band embarked on their first trip touring two years ago up the east coast through the rolling hills and calming skies of Virginia. This acted as the can opener of life and taught the group what it meant to depend on their dreams and to truly live for their passion. Virginia proclaims a praising ode of love to the state as well as the state of mind that holds the foundation of The Coordinates together.

lyrics

Bought a ticket to Virginia cause I like the way that the hills roll in place
Yeah I've been still where I've been stuck
And the house where I've been living is custom to doors that stay shut
Unlike Virginia, there's not a sound
Now I'm listening

She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own
Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home
Virginia, keep the music going

Took a bike ride down through Washwoods, I feel so small
I catch my breath, my feet are numb
It's much better down where the south begins, I pedal my heart through the rain
See Virginia's sun
From the morning mountain

She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own
Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home
Virginia, keep the music going

Well I think that I'll just stay here forever as long as Virginia's with me
For in the waking hour we see as one
An overwhelming calmness and forgiveness she freely gives me
I am elated, omnipresent

But nothing will change for me as long as Virginia can stay beneath my feet
As long as Virginia can stay beneath my feet

She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own
Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home
Virginia, keep the music going

She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own
Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home
Virginia, keep the music going
