Gonna Be Alright
Ride Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't believe the things I said and did
Can't hold back but now I'm glad I did
Feel so perfect and I feel so clean
Days like these are few and far between

'Cause I got it all, I got it in my head
And everything is gonna be alright
I see angels now where there was fear and fright
And everything is gonna be alright

Could this be something trustworthy
Open mind filled with feel good things
Could this be the meaning of it all
I was hunched but now I'm ten feet tall

'Cause I got it all, I got it in my head
And everything is gonna be alright
I see angels now where there was fear and fright
And everything is gonna be alright

Everything will be alright, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright and everything is gonna be alright
