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.
