Ride My Bike
Ride My Bike: Chasing Life's Highs and Embracing Love's Complexities
Lyrics
My mind's on fire, so I'll ride my bike
Escaping mental turmoil by riding a bike
I'm riding harder than a hurricane
Exerting tremendous effort akin to a hurricane
Love is complicated, that's alright
Acknowledging the complexities of love
Swear I saw the old you for a second there
Seeing a glimpse of the person someone used to be
My mother made me promise home
Commitment to return home before nightfall
For dinner before dark
Fulfilling a promise to be home for dinner
But a God I can't explain says
A sense of guidance from an inexplicable force
"Take a right at Central Park"
Following guidance to take a specific route
To clear my mind
Seeking mental clarity
And get that runner's high and baby
Experiencing a sense of euphoria from exercise
For the very first time I'm not afraid to die
Losing fear of mortality during exercise
And get that runner's high, high and babe
Continued sensation of euphoria
I think I found what it means to be alive
Feeling alive and finding purpose
My mind's on fire
Continued mental distress
I feel the blood rush to my brain
Feeling heightened mental activity
Summer's only ending if you let it, babe
Belief that summer doesn't end unless allowed
(Don't let it)
Encouragement not to let summer end
My mother made me promise home
Reiteration of commitment to return home
For dinner before dark
Keeping the promise to be home by evening
But a God I can't explain says
Feeling guided by an inexplicable force again
"Take a right at Central Park"
Following specific guidance for mental relief
To clear my mind
Seeking mental clarity once more
And get that runner's high and baby
Repeating the feeling of euphoria from exercise
For the very first time I'm not afraid to die
Overcoming fear of death during exercise
And get that runner's high, high and babe
Continued sensation of euphoria from exercise
I think I found what it means to be alive
Feeling alive and purposeful
So, I backpack through the universe
Journeying through life and returning unchanged
And I came back with no possessions
Returning without material possessions
Of heartbreak and life's fake
Realization of deception and artificiality in life
And all the gods gave me one message
Receiving a universal message
That you live fast and you die quicker
Advice to live fast but acknowledging consequences
And nothing's ever gonna make you sicker
Nothing will harm more than destructive habits
Than late nights and drunk fights
Exhaustion from unhealthy relationships and behavior
And I'm done dating bad guys
Decision to break away from toxic relationships
I'm starsick from last night
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed from prior events
And this feeling's why I stay alive
Reason for staying alive, tied to certain feelings
I love you, let's not fight
Expressing love and desire for harmony
I love you and this runner's high
Associating love with the euphoria of exercise
Runner's high
Emphasizing the feeling of euphoria
And get that runner's high and baby
Reiterating the feeling of euphoria from exercise
For the very first time I'm not afraid to die
Overcoming fear of death during exercise
And get that runner's high, high and babe
Continued sensation of euphoria from exercise
I think I found what it means to be alive
Feeling alive and purposeful
