Ride
Lana Del Rey (Barretso Remix) Lyrics

I've been out on that open road
I’ve been traveling and exploring new places and experiences.

You can be my full time, daddy white and gold
I want someone to be my constant companion and supporter, who is rich and successful.

Singing blues has been getting old
I'm tired of feeling depressed and want to move on from it.

You can be my full time, baby, hot or cold
I want someone to be committed to me whether they are in love with me or not.

Don't break me down, I've been travelin' too long
I don't want to be judged or emotionally broken down after all the traveling I've done.

I've been tryin' too hard with one pretty song
I've been working really hard on making one beautiful piece of music.

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I enjoy the small details of life like the sound of birds on the wind, and I like to live life impulsively and boldly.

I am alone in the night
I’m by myself with my thoughts.

Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've been trying to be responsible and keep myself out of harmful situations.

I've got a war in my mind
I'm struggling with internal conflicts and indecision.

So, I just ride Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I cope with my problems by driving and continuing to explore, allowing myself to escape from my troubles if only temporarily.

Dying young and I'm playing hard
I’m living life with the knowledge that it may not last forever.

That's the way my father made his life an art
My father lived his life to the fullest and taught me to do the same.

Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
I enjoy drinking and engaging in deep conversations with others until late at night.

That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark
This is how the wanderers and travelers live their lives, by riding and exploring until nightfall.

Don't leave me now, don't say good bye, don't turn around, leave me high and dry
I don't want to be abandoned or left alone to deal with my problems on my own.

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm exhausted from feeling like I have lost my sanity.

I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
I'm exhausted from constantly driving and putting myself in danger.

I look up to hear myself saying, baby Too much I strive, I just ride
I realize that I’ve been trying too hard, and that now it’s time for me to simply relax and let things happen as they will.
