short ride

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just wanna ride
Got me giving up
Before we even try
You just runaway
I'm sick of all these lies
Pretending I'm okay
But you keep it a short rideIs this what you want from me?
Desperate and confused at times
But I always feel the same
I'm locked in your clever eyes
I just want to be somebody you can always call your lover
Why are you keeping me away from my precious time?
Would you travel winds to stay here with one another?
Or is this all lies? All lies?
Clearly I'm overthinking
Then I seem to be surprised
But won't you want me all this time?
You don't wanna stay
You just wanna ride
Got me giving up
Before we even try
You just runaway
I'm sick of all these lies
Pretending I'm okay
But you keep it a short ride
I just wanna be myself
but you stay picking me apart
You had time
Never mind
Watch these feelings come undone
Kept temptations high
Damn feel like you would be the oneCutting ties
Feeling like
You've been fucking someone else
Clearly I'm overthinking
Then I seem to be surprised
But won't you want me all this time?
You don't wanna stay
You just wanna ride
Got me giving up
Before we even try
You just runaway
I'm sick of all these lies
Pretending I'm okay
But you keep it a short ride
The lyrics of "Short Ride" by Kelly Vargas are about a relationship that seems to be going nowhere fast. The singer in the song is frustrated with their partner who doesn't want to commit to anything long-term. They just want to ride and have a good time without any promises or obligations. This is causing the singer to feel desperate and confused at times.
The line “Pretending I'm okay, but you keep it a short ride” shows that the singer is trying to make it work with their partner, but it doesn't seem like it's going to last. The relationship is built on lies and it's not healthy. The singer wants to be somebody their partner can always call their lover. They want to be in a committed relationship, but their partner doesn't seem to want the same thing.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the partner just wants a short ride and isn't willing to commit. The singer feels like they are giving up before they even try because they know what the outcome will be. The song ends with the singer feeling like they have been replaced by someone else, and they are left feeling confused and hurt.
