Nebraska

"Nebraska" is a song by one of JD's former bands, This Eden (also featuring Sam), released on their self-titled album in November 2011.

Factoids

JD has mentioned that the original idea for the song came from a Family Guy joke about Nebraska being a boring place.

Lyrics

I keep flowers in this house
'Cause someone told me that they keep the demons out
But lately I've been feeling down
Ever since you left town

I keep the sunrise in my heart
A mental picture to give the day a good start
But lately this heart has been scarred
Another world falls apart

Is it coincidence since times have changed
Our hearts moved in their different ways
My head is like a moving maze
Is it any coincidence?
That my world falls into anarchy
My soul feels like it's lost at sea
When loneliness is company
Is it any coincidence?

This is a falling star, welcome to Nebraska
This is a falling star, yeah yeah
This is a falling star
Your heart has to roam
You're in Nebraska 'til someone brings you home

I still keep your photograph
A stolen moment to remind me of the past
But now the color has all drained
But still the emptiness remains

Is it coincidence since times have changed
Our hearts moved in their different ways
My head is like a moving maze
Is it any coincidence?
That my world falls into anarchy
My soul feels like it's lost at sea
When loneliness is company
Is it any coincidence?
This is a falling star, welcome to Nebraska
This is a falling star, yeah yeah
This is a falling star
Your heart has to roam
You're in Nebraska 'til someone brings you home

Yes I know that it's all a waste of time
But I can't let it go, 'cause it's love on the other side
My heart's beating now, it's a dream
There's nothing to lose if everything's lost
It's you I'm thinking of

This is a falling star, welcome to Nebraska
This is a falling star, yeah yeah
This is a falling star
Your heart has to roam
You're in Nebraska 'til someone brings you

Miles away from from anywhere
Nebraska 'til someone saves you
From a state of despair
Nebraska 'til someone lets you know
Nebraska 'til someone brings you home
