Riley Timmer - The Blue Ridge Experiment

Illinois

So I lost myself somewhere along the way
Listening to Illinois the whole way through

I idolized a man that I never knew
I idolized a man I thought that I wanted to be

I fell in love, ignored all your sins
Heard your ideas from a big plastic bin

Don't tell me it's over
I needed something to hold on to
Don't tell me it's over
I needed something to aspire to

There was a time in my life
I was paralyzed by both your thoughts and my fear
That I'd never reach you

But as you said more and more
A clear picture formed
No more grand stories, just honesty on the page

Don't tell me it's over
I needed something to hold on to
Don't tell me it's over
I needed something to aspire to

So don't hang it up
