Do u wanna ride
S.L.A.S.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I-I know the love you felt for me has died,
I-I try to cope with the pain inside
But I just realize that I cannot hide the feelings that I have inside...
Can you hear me?
I-I know it's hard to understand,
You made me be a different man,
I-I don't want you to feel no guilt inside,
I just want to stay friend but I feel the fear girl that I never can
Chorus:
You gotta do what you wanna do,[hear me]
Still remember what I feel for you,[hear me]
You gotta do what you wanna do,[hear me]
Still remember that I care for you,[hear me]
I don't want to see our friendship die,
I know we need to separate ways,
But I don't know why
I hope someday we both will see,
That girl our friendship was created for eternity
Chorus

The singer urges the listener to do what they want to, to follow their heart, as they still remember the love they felt for them.

The singer hopes that someday the listener will realize that their friendship was made to last for an eternity.
