The Ride Lyrics by Dan Smith

Before Bastille

0

[Verse 1]
It's us against the cars, man
They can bloody well avoid us
Down those narrow, leafy roads
Which seem deserted just for us

We'll charge on down the hill
With gravity on our side
As it carries us away
You'll take me along for the ride

[Pre-Chorus]
The ride, the ride
The ride, the ride

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I can't see the world around me now
I can't tell the wood from the trees
But I hear you by my side

And there's darkness all around me now
I can't feel nothing but the breeze
But you're with me for the ride

The ride

[Verse 2]
So we'll head on through the common
Leaving empty drinks behind
Going blindly through the darkness
Then apart for the first time

It's the first of summer evenings
Of taking drinks outside
Of the grasp between my fingers
With you sitting beside

[Pre-Chorus]
Beside, beside
Beside, beside

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I can't see the world around me now
I can't tell the wood from the trees
But I hear you by my side

And there's darkness all around me now
I can't feel nothing but the breeze
But I'm with you for the ride

The ride, the ride, the ride

I, I, I, I can't see the world around me now
I can't feel nothing but the breeze
But I'm with you for the ride

And it's darkness all around me now
I can't see nothing but the trees
And I'm with you for the ride

I'm riding right beside

Beside, beside
