Ride
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know it's hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind

I know it's hard sometimes
Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But it's fun to fantasize
On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
But it's fun to fantasize

Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Oh, oh I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Taking my time on my ride

"I'd sing for you," that's easy to say
We have a list of people that we would take
A song for them, a song for you
A song for everybody in this room
But I don't seem to see many songs coming through
See many songs coming through metaphorically, I'm the man
But literally, I don't know what I'd do
I'd live for you, and that's hard to do
Even harder to say when you know it's not true
Even harder to write when you know that tonight
There were people back home who tried talking to you
But then you ignored them still
All these questions they're for real
Who would you live for who would you live for
And would you ever still?

Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Oh, oh I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Taking my time on my ride

I've been thinking too much
I've been thinking too much (help me)
I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)
I've been thinking too much

Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Oh, oh I'm falling, so I'm taking my time
Taking my time on my ride

Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
Oh, oh I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my

I've been thinking too much (help me)




I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)
I've been thinking too much (help me)

Sometimes I imagine myself being so successful that those who have doubted me in the past would regret their actions.

It's easy to make promises or say things that sound good in theory, but it's much harder to follow through with actions or commitments.


We have a list of people that we would take
We all have people in our lives who we value more than others.


A song for them, a song for you
We often use music to express our feelings or as a way to connect with others.


But I don't seem to see many songs coming through
Despite our intentions to show love and appreciation through music, we may not always follow through or find the right words to express ourselves.


See many songs coming through metaphorically, I'm the man
In a hypothetical sense, I may see myself as confident or successful, but in reality, I may struggle to live up to those ideals.


But literally, I don't know what I'd do

These are intense and meaningful questions that force us to consider our values and deepest desires.


I've been thinking too much, I've been thinking too much (help me)
I've been overanalyzing and worrying excessively, and I need guidance or support to help me regain perspective.


Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
I'm struggling and losing control, so I'm taking the time to reflect and make intentional decisions to keep moving forward.


Taking my time on my ride
I'm not rushing or making impulsive decisions, but rather taking my time to make thoughtful choices that align with my values and goals.
