Let It Ride
Making April Lyrics

You weren't the girl I had planned
I didn't think you were the one for me

To share my love with but you came in strongly with
But you came into my life in a big way

Your ships and planes
You brought a lot of excitement and adventure

You took me down
You captured my heart

And I went in quietly
I fell for you easily

You had me strapped, but you would promise honesty
You had me under your spell, but you promised to always be truthful

And like clock-ridden hands
Like the predictable movement of clock hands

I'd come around
I always ended up coming back to you

But you'll be captive in this town
But you'll be stuck here in this place

And I'll be back out on the road
While I'll be traveling, exploring, and experiencing new things

Well if you wanna hear us out
If you want to discuss our relationship

Then let it ride, let it ride, let it
Then let's continue with this rollercoaster of emotions

Ride, but baby I've got so much more in this life
But I have so much more I want to accomplish in life

And we could never quite get it
Our relationship was never quite right

Right, and baby I'm not looking out from inside
And I'm not only focused on our relationship

And I could never quite give you
And I was never able to provide you

What you need, what you want
With what you needed or wanted

You can take what you get
You have to settle for what I can offer

But it just wont amount to much I'm sure
But it won't be enough in the long run

I guess this boy is not for loving after all, all, after all
I guess I'm just not cut out for love after all

I put myself in between
I put myself in the middle of

Treason that I hadn't seen naivety would conquer me
The betrayal that I never saw coming, my naivety got the best of me

As I thought all the buzz was fake
As I thought all the hype and excitement was fake

But you'd prove me wrong
But you showed me that it was real after all

But right from the start, well I've been proven so much smarter
But from the beginning, I knew better than to fall for your tricks

And yeah, some nights you were worth the mistake
And yeah, sometimes being with you was worth the risk

Now you can call me from the town
Now you can reach out to me from where you are

And I can tell you about the road
And I can tell you about my travels and experiences

No I don't wanna hear you out
But no, I don't want to discuss our relationship

Let it die, let it die, let it
Let our relationship come to an end

Die, cause baby I've got
Because I have other priorities in life

So much more in this life
So much else I want to accomplish and experience

And we could never quite get it
Our relationship was never quite right

Right, and baby I'm not
And I'm not solely focused on our relationship

Looking out from inside
Only seeing things from my own perspective

And I will never ever give you
And I will never be able to provide you

What you need, what you want
With what you needed or wanted

You can take what you get
You will have to settle for what I can offer

But it just wont amount to much I'm sure
But it won't be enough in the long run

I guess this girl is not for loving after all, all, after all, all
I guess I'm just not destined to find love after all

But you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
But you know that you saved me in a way

Cause despite your indiscretions I'm a ten times better man
Because even though you hurt me, I came out a better person

And you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
And I'm grateful to you for that

Cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand
Because you saved me from falling for another deceitful person

Yeah you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
So you will always be a hero to me

Cause somehow you had me trying to break my back and give you
Because you had me trying so hard to please you

What you need, what you want
With what you needed and wanted

You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
But what I can offer you just won't be enough, I know now

You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
You'll never be fully satisfied with what I can give

What you need, what you want
With what you needed and wanted

You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I'm sure
But I'm certain that what I can offer will never be enough

Yeah you know that you're my hero, because I know now
But you will always be my hero for having taught me invaluable lessons

I know some girls are not for loving after all
I know now that not everyone is meant to find love
