Lyrics
I just want to ride

So drive
Encouraging someone to operate the vehicle.
I don't care where we're going to just go
Indifference to the destination, just a desire to move forward.
Just drive
An urging to continue driving without a specific goal.
I don't care if we ever come back here
Expressing a lack of concern about returning to a particular place.
Just drive
Reiterating the desire to keep driving without a set destination.
I want to lay back and close my eyes
Expressing a desire to relax and shut one's eyes during the journey.
Just let me close my eyes
A plea to allow the speaker to close their eyes and unwind.
Don't' hold my hand
Requesting not to hold hands due to fear.
It makes me afraid
Elaborating that physical contact induces fear.
Don't hold my hand
Reiterating the request not to hold hands.
It's too late for that
Stating that it's too late for physical closeness.
I can see your head
Observing the partner's thoughts or emotions.
I can see the fire
Noticing intensity or passion in the partner.
Just close your eyes
Encouraging the partner to relax and shut their eyes as well.
Fear is the law
Asserting that fear governs behavior.
Duty is pain

To grind the edges from our minds

Our minds

She's hurting now
Noting someone's current emotional state of pain.
She let the smooth taste fool her
Referring to being deceived by a seemingly pleasant experience.
Now when she opens up her eyes
Describing the consequences of opening one's eyes to reality.
Her head's on fire
Expressing the intense emotional experience of the partner.
She wanted to be
Expressing someone's desire to be a passive observer in the speaker's life.
A fly on my wall
Stating a belief that observation will lead to change.
She thinks she'll see me change
Contradicting the expectation of change in the speaker.
But I don't change at all
Emphasizing the speaker's consistency in behavior.
And you wouldn't have to walk on water
Suggesting that extraordinary feats are unnecessary; normalcy is sufficient.
If you could just swim like the rest of us
Encouraging someone to adopt a more common approach.
If for once in your life you just close your eyes
Advising to gain a different perspective by closing one's eyes.
Put it in perspective
Encouraging a shift in perspective for a more balanced view.
