Shoffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She got me waist deep, I can't fight it.
Her language from the heavens, yeah.
I'm a fan of the city she is reppin'.
Conversations in the A.M.,
So faded, don't know what I'm sayin'.
Good vibes and Mai Tai's.
Unexpected, she caught me by surprise.
Ride, Into the night.
Ride, Into the night.
Ride, Into the night.
The colors burn brighter,
Is it possible? Love takes us higher.
higher, higher.
Elevate emotion and set us free.
Home is with you, this is where I wanna be.
Ride, into the night.
Ride, Into the night.
Ride, Into the night.
Ride, Into the night.
Ride.
