The Ride

One day it hit me right between the eyes

Everything I’ve ever loved is someday gonna die

The one and only constant here is time

And every single moment carries me closer to mine

I’m not gonna live forever

Even now my face is lined

Death’s not gonna loose the tether

I just hope he takes his time

I guess that I just like the ride

All the years I tried to be someone

Every moment that I lived for arrived and then was done

With it went the feeling that I longed for

It left me alone to wait for more

I’m not gonna live forever

Even now my face is lined

Death’s not gonna loose the tether

I just hope he takes his time

I guess that I just like the ride

Everything I aimed for became the thing to live for

Always barely out of reach

You can always hedge your bets

Or you can try to up your chance

Or you can just enjoy the dance

I’m not gonna live forever

Even now my face is lined

Death’s not gonna loose the tether

I just hope he takes his time

I’m not gonna live forever

And I can’t pause and hit rewind

Death’s not gonna loose the tether

I just hope he takes his time

Fuck it, I just like the ride
