The Ride
Embracing the Journey: A Melodic Tale of Growth and Togetherness
Lyrics
Watched you grow into hand-me-downs
Reflecting on witnessing someone's growth and the experience of inheriting used clothing.
Stayed up all night 'til the sun came around
Staying awake through the night until morning, suggesting dedication or an intense connection.
Walked around like we owned the town
Confidently walking around as if owning the town, expressing a sense of empowerment.
And memorised every single sound
Memorizing and cherishing every sound, indicating a deep appreciation for details.
I was voted most likely to run away
Being predicted or expected to run away, possibly revealing a rebellious nature.
Guitar ablaze like Jimi at Monterey
Comparing oneself to Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival, showcasing musical passion.
Should've known it wouldn't take me long to leave
Realizing that leaving wouldn't take long, acknowledging an inevitable departure.
Should've known you'd follow my lead
Anticipating that others will follow the speaker's lead in leaving.
Now there's an ocean that we're free to roam
Referring to the freedom of an ocean, symbolizing new opportunities or experiences.
We're stepping far from all we've ever known
Moving away from familiar surroundings, embracing change and the unknown.
I'm raising a glass for the road left to unwind
Toasting to the journey ahead, acknowledging the challenges left to unfold.
And I'm just glad you're here for the ride
Expressing gratitude for companionship during the unpredictable journey.
We're growing out of love and getting older
Acknowledging the evolution of love and the weight of responsibilities with age.
We've got more weight upon our shoulders
Feeling the burden of life's challenges, signifying the challenges of adulthood.
We end up wrong more often than right
Admitting to making mistakes more frequently than getting things right.
And some people can't look you in the eye
Noting the discomfort some people feel in direct eye contact.
But here's to the ocean that we're free to roam
Reiterating the theme of freedom, emphasizing the vastness of possibilities.
We're stepping far from all we've ever known
Continuing the journey away from the familiar, embracing change and growth.
I'm raising a glass for the road left to unwind
Raising a glass in anticipation of the challenges and experiences that lie ahead.
And I'm just glad you're here for the ride
Expressing gratitude for the companionship of someone during the unpredictable journey.
Here's to the times you feel your heart beating out of your chest
Toasting to moments of intense emotion, specifically when the heart beats rapidly.
And to the times it feels like it'll bleed out
Acknowledging the pain and vulnerability experienced in certain emotional situations.
Here's to the battles and dragons and wars we fought side by side
Toasting to the shared struggles, battles, and undisclosed challenges faced together.
And to the ones you never told me about
Acknowledging the existence of personal struggles and hardships not openly discussed.
And here's to becoming who we've always been
Toasting to personal growth and embracing one's true self, despite challenges.
Even if dreams get harder to reach
Expressing a commitment to pursuing dreams, even when they become more difficult to achieve.
I just want you to know we'll be alright, we'll be just fine
Assuring that despite challenges, everything will be alright, emphasizing support.
And that I'm here for the ride
Reiterating the appreciation for someone's companionship throughout the journey.
Cause there's an ocean that we're free to roam
Referring again to the vastness of possibilities in the metaphorical ocean of life.
We're stepping far from all we've ever known
Continuing to step away from the familiar, embracing the unknown future.
I'm raising a glass for the road left to unwind
Raising a glass again, celebrating the ongoing journey and the challenges ahead.
And I'm just glad you're here for the ride
Expressing gratitude for the presence of a companion throughout the unpredictable ride.
And someday you'll hear me say, "what a ride"
Anticipating looking back with appreciation, repeatedly emphasizing the impactful journey.
Someday you'll hear me say, "what a ride"
-And someday you'll hear me say, "what a ride"
-Someday you'll hear me say, "what a ride"
