Ticket to Ride
Journey of Heartache: Ticket to Ride's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I think I'm gonna be sad.
I anticipate feeling sad.
I think it's today.
I believe that the cause of my sadness will happen today.
Yeah.
Confirmation or emphasis.
The girl
Referring to the girl who is causing distress.
That's drivin' me mad
The girl is the source of frustration or insanity.
Is goin' away.
The girl is leaving.
She's got a ticket to ride.
She has a ticket to leave, but she is indifferent to the impact on the speaker.
She's got a ticket to ride.
-She's got a ticket to ride,
-But she don't care.
-She said that livin' with me
She claims that being with the speaker is depressing and restrictive.
Was bringin' her down.
-Yeah.
-She would never be free
-When I was around.
-She's got a ticket to ride.
Reiteration of her possession of a ticket and her indifference.
She's got a ticket to ride.
-She's got a ticket to ride,
-But she don't care.
-I don't know why
Advising her to reconsider and treat the speaker fairly before leaving.
She's ridin' so high.
-She oughtta think twice.
-She oughtta do right by me.
-Before she gets to sayin' goodbye,
-She oughtta think twice.
-She oughtta do right by me.
Reiteration of the plea for fair treatment.
I think I'm gonna be sad.
Repetition of the impending departure causing distress.
I think it's today.
-Yeah.
-The girl that's drivin' me mad
-Is goin' away.
-Yeah.
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
Ah, she's got a ticket to ride.
Confirmation of her possession of a departure ticket and indifference.
She's got a ticket to ride.
-She's got a ticket to ride,
-But she don't care.
-I don't know why she's ridin' so high.
Repeat of the plea for her to reconsider and treat the speaker right.
She oughtta think twice.
-She oughtta do right by me.
-Before she gets to sayin' goodbye,
-She oughtta think twice.
-She oughtta do right by me.
-She said that livin' with me
Reiteration of her belief that being with the speaker is burdensome.
Was bringin' her down.
-Yeah.
-She would never be free
-When I was around.
-Ah, she's got a ticket to ride.
Final repetition of her possession of a departure ticket and indifference.
She's got a ticket to ride.
-She's got a ticket to ride,
-But she don't care.
