Lyrics

Alaska

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Used to call it nothing

And then you turned it into something

You were a petal I could pluck then

Maybe we should touch or something

I promise I won't fall in love then

You could put me in your pocket

Wouldn't you like that?

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

I found a letter from your friend he said you're gone

He said you were going to the mountain with the most snow so long

Told me you were headed for Alaska

I thought I dreamt it but I know it now it's on

Instead of writing letters Jimmy could've had my heart to lean on

Fake! You dedicate me nothing!

You couldn't say it we were something!

You got me all huffin' and puffin'

Maybe we should kiss or something

I promise I won't fall in love then

You could put me in your pocket

Wouldn't you like that?

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

I found a letter from your friend he said you're gone

He said you were going to the mountain with the most snow so long

Told me you were headed for Alaska

I thought I dreamt it but I know it now it's on

Instead of writing letters Jimmy could've had my heart to lean on

Call me to tell me something that you want from me

And I give in in the beginning when you ask for me

And the buzz that I know I get it when you're sweet to me

I don't know why I'm going took the map from me

And I know that I want to feed him 'cause he's so hungry

You could put me in your pocket

Wouldn't you like that?

And now I'm saying

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

I found a letter from your friend he said you're gone

He said you were going to the mountain with the most snow so long

Told me you were headed for Alaska

I thought I dreamt it but I know it now it's on

Instead of writing letters Jimmy could've had my heart to lean on

You shoulda told me

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

Say you're my only

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

You should've told me told me told me told me

Told me you were heading to Alaska

Baby you coulda warned me

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

And baby you could've told me

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, don't go

Jimmy you could've told me told me told me told me
