Ride Album

My eyes are sore, my body weak
My throat is dry, I cannot speak
My words are dead
Falling like feathers to the floor
Falling like feathers to the floor

You gave me things I'd never seen
You made my life a waking dream
But we are dead
Falling like ashes to the floor
Falling like ashes to the floor

Definitions confine thoughts, they are a myth
Words are clumsy, language doesn't fit
But we know there's no limit to thought
We know there's no limits

Now it's your turn to see me rise
You burned your wings, now watch me fly
Above your head
Looking down I see you far below
Looking up you see my spirit glow

I know that you are thinking about me now
I can feel it but I don't know how
When I'm gone you will see so clear
That I left some words unspoken here

All these words that I have said
Float around you, fill your head
All the times we laughed and cried
I never thought I'd leave you behind

I don't want you to understand
You will never hold me in your hand
I don't want you to see my face
When I fade away and leave this place

All these songs that fill my head
Dance around you when I'm dead
All the love I ever knew
Kaleidoscopes around to you

All these words that I have said
Float around you, fill your head
All the times we laughed and cried
I never thought I'd change your mind

Blowing bubbles, lying down
Waiting for the rain to fall
Laughing at the people
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping
And we're smiling, when we're waking

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold
I will feel fine
Thunder roared and lightning flashed
But you and I are in a different time

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping
And we're smiling, when we're waking

Floating in and out of time
In and out of space
No one else can touch us now
We're in a different place

She knew she was able to fly
Because when she came down
She had dust on her hands from the sky
She said I touched a cloud
She felt so high, the dust made her cry

She knew she could fly like a bird
But when she said 'please raise the roof higher' nobody heard
They never noticed a word
The light bulbs burn, her fingertips will learn

Why should it feel like a crime?
If I want to be with you all the time
Why is it measured in hours?
You should make your own time, you're welcome in mine

She knew she was able to fly
Because when she came down
She had dust from her hands on the sky
She said I touched a cloud
Her fingers will learn, the lightbulbs burn

Lying under sky
Laughing at everything I say
And pulls me under
There's no time to resist

Lying on the floor
The tears are falling down and more
Her eyes speak loud
But actions speak the best

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

She's effortlessly cool
But circumstances can be cruel
And sometimes you must accept
That you can't always get what you want
We fill up our days and nights
We fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
But we know (that) we are doomed
The moment we walk out the room

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

We have short time to stay
Our night is slipping far away
Caught up within bad memories
Our growth seems certain to decay

Now this feeling's so alive
But, as you or anything, we die
We die

Let's stay here for a while
Eyes so round and bright we gently smile
Live for the moment, not the past
Why do we always fall so fast?

Catch me, in another dream, I'm pulled away
Hold me, gently take me through another day

However hard I try
I crawl when I should fly
I wander through my days
Pulled a million ways

Help me feel the forces I can't touch, I'm reaching out
Help me learn, until I know too much, I'm still without

These circles pulling near
Hold me in my fear
And sleeping I can't hide
I'm paralysed inside

Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed
Paralysed

First you look so strong,
Then you fade away.
The sun will blind my eyes;
I love you anyway.
Thirsty for your smile;
I watch you for a while.
You are a vapour trail
In a deep blue sky.

Tremble with a sigh;
Glitter in your eye.
You seem to come and go;
I never seem to know.
And all my time
is yours as much as mine.
We never have enough
Time to show our love.

Floating like a smoke ring
It cannot be regained
Now it's touched, it's broken
The taste just slips away
The taste just slips away
I just want to know

The taste just slips away
The taste just slips away
I just want to know

I don't want to tell you
What you want to know
I don't want to tell you

As hard as right can be
It can feel so wrong
Too much to leave
Now it's all gone wrong

It's all gone wrong
But what's right or wrong?
I don't know
I don't know
The taste just slips away

The bridge holds back the sky
Can't hold back what's inside
And the train above me
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast

I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won't dissapear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast

All I know is here and now
All I know is here and now

And the train rushes past
Like a day gone to fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast

I should have known better
Than to expect it all
You want everything
And you end up grabbing at air

I had so much to give
So much hope, we held each other high
But the heroes are gone
And all that's left is you and me

I learned the hard way
That life should be easy
But I want you to know that it was hard to show
The things that I know now

All that's left is you and me
And here we are, nowhere

All that's left is you and me
And here we are, nowhere
