Lyrics

Go on and drink it up

Encouraging to embrace life and its experiences.

Tell me don’t it taste sweet

Asking about the enjoyment and sweetness of the experience.

Remember that one dark night

Reflecting on a challenging or dark moment in the past.

We almost admitted defeat

Recalling a time when overcoming difficulties seemed almost impossible.

You know we’ve lived it up, lived it down

Acknowledging ups and downs in life.

I’ve had my ego kicked all round town

Admitting to personal setbacks and challenges.

But there’s no use in holding on

Stating the futility of holding onto past burdens.

To all those chains of the past

Encouraging the release of emotional baggage.


Here’s to the hard times

Toasting to difficult times as they contribute to personal growth.

To whatever keeps us through those lonely nights

Acknowledging the importance of enduring challenges.

Now we’re waving goodbye to even the notion of pain

Celebrating overcoming the concept of pain.


You’ve got your ticket to ride

Expressing possession of a pass or opportunity.

Now I’ve got nothing to hide from you my love

Declaring transparency and openness in the relationship.

I’ve been selfish

Admitting to moments of self-centeredness.

At times I’ve been blind

Acknowledging occasional lack of awareness or understanding.

But it’s always been you my love

Affirming a consistent love for a significant other.


(Ohh) do you feel that wind

Sensory experience, possibly symbolic of change or renewal.

Feel it coursing through your blood and your veins

Describing a powerful and invigorating sensation.

Red sun rising up

Symbolizing a new beginning or positive change.

Breathing life down to me here so small

Highlighting the vitality brought by positive forces.

While I contend with this city

Managing challenges in a bustling and competitive environment.

Now if you let it it’ll bleed you dry

Warning about the potential emotional toll of a challenging environment.

But this heart it keeps on pumping

Emphasizing resilience and the ability to endure difficulties.

This is a well that can never run dry

Expressing an enduring source of emotional strength.


Farewell to my drifting ways

Bidding farewell to a wandering or aimless lifestyle.

Love - it’s a kick in the balls at last

Describing love as a challenging yet impactful experience.

It’s a bus over my pride

Illustrating the impact of love on personal pride.

It keeps me breathless at night

Highlighting the intensity of emotions caused by love.

Now I’m spread like a sheet beneath your feet

Depicting vulnerability and submission in the relationship.

So just go easy where you tread

Advising caution and gentleness in the relationship.


You’ve got your ticket to ride

Reiteration of possessing an opportunity or pass.

Now I’ve got nothing to hide from you my love

Reaffirming transparency and openness in the relationship.

I’ve been selfish

Acknowledging moments of self-centeredness.

At times I’ve been blind

Acknowledging occasional lack of awareness or understanding.

But it’s always been you my love

Affirming a consistent love for a significant other.
