Giovanca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got you in my arms, baby
looking at you, baby
tryin' to figure out what I feel
My hearts says: it's passion, baby
No perhaps, no maybe
What I'm feeling, that shit, is real
But my heart is still contemplating,
it is still debating,
there's a wrong side to this tale
But my heart is still contemplating,
it is still debating,
there's a wrong side
I've got you on my couch now, baby
I'm looking at you, baby
tryin' to figure out what you feel
Are you scared now? like I am, baby
Is this a yes or a maybe?
Is what you're feeling for me for real?
But my heart is still contemplating,
it is still debating,
there's a wrong side to this tale
But my heart is still contemplating,
shouldn't we be waiting to take this joyride?
Hope you're holding on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
I'ma bring it on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
Hope you're holding on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
I'ma bring it on
Hope you're holding on
Here we go, now way back (4x)
Here we go...
Wake up hey you (2x)
Brother, you'd better buckle up
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
I see you thinking and I'm thinking too
all of the time
But sometimes it's just better to
live your life
But my heart is still contemplating,
it is still debating,
there's a wrong side to this tale
But my heart is still contemplating,
shouldn't we be waiting to take this joyride?
Hope you're holding on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
I'ma bring it on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
Hope you're holding on
Boy, I just hope you're holding on
I'ma bring it on
Hope you're holding on
Here we go, now way back (4x)
Here we go...
Wake up with you (2x)
The lyrics of Giovanca's song "Joyride" delve into the hesitation and uncertainty that comes with falling in love. The song's narrator describes holding her love interest in her arms and trying to make sense of her feelings. Despite her heart telling her that what she's feeling is real and passionate, she knows that there's a wrong side to the story that she can't ignore. She wonders if her love interest feels the same way, if they're both scared, and if what they're feeling is actually real or just a "maybe."
The singer is torn between fully embracing the joyride of falling in love and waiting to ensure that it's the right choice. While she wants to bring it on and hold on tight, she also recognizes that sometimes it's better to wait and see. The repeated refrain of "hope you're holding on" reflects this hesitation and uncertainty, as the singer wants to ensure that they're both in it for the long haul.
