New Ride
Jose Vanders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
got a packet of gum and a boy by my side
windows rolled down to let the breeze in
cos it's quite hot, and summer is the season
to feel alive
to feel alive
holding hands all day
cos he makes me smile he makes me happy
telling me i'm a beautiful girl
the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world
and I don't know if I'm just lucky
to have found a person that understands me
when I say
pick me apart and uncover my heart
it's yours
walking round theme parks is well fun
when you've got the company of that special someone
to go on all the rides but still be by your side
when that rollercoaster looks a bit too high
steal glasses from the 4D show
hide em in our jumpers and see how far we go
put them on in the photo on Nemesis Inferno
cos we're cool
and I don't know if I'm just lucky
to have found a person that understands me
when I say
pick me apart and uncover my heart
it's yours
it's yours

There's so many people at the station
Waiting for a train to
Take them on some long journey far, far away
There's a boy with a smile
Thinking about Marie
'Cause he caught her in the shower last night, accidentally
He caught her in the shower last night, accidentally
There's a woman with a baby
Trying to make it stop crying
So she's bribing with a lemon lollipop
There's a girl with a boyfriend
She's in way too far 'cause
I saw him looking at another woman's heart
I saw him looking at another woman's heart
And people say that I'm just being lazy
I've got the dreams but don't know where to go
I think if I could choose to live here at the station I would
There's a man with a bald patch
At the back of his head
His heart is getting sleepy
And he's watching where he treads
A group of sweaty girls are standing in a line
Naivete exploding as he gives them all the eye
Naivete exploding as he gives them all the eye
The lady with the basket
Full of all her eggs
She's counted them too quickly
She'll wake up and they'll be dead
The boy who's lost his marbles
Has found them down the drain
The slit's too thin to get them so he'll have to start again
The slit's too thin to get them so he'll have to start again
And people say that I'm just being lazy
I've got the dreams but don't know where to go
I think if I could choose to live here at the station
To live here at the station
Oh, I think if I could choose to live here at the station
I would
