Just Ride
Steven A. Clark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m already awkward enough
And two awkward people?
It don't make much of a conversation
Yeah, ohh
I battled with this a thousand times in my mind
Then I realized that it was just a mental simulation
Yeah, baby

And now I got her face to face
But her beauty has just replaced
Every single word
Oh every single word

So I′m lightin' up
Just to lighten up
Kick me seat back
Put my feet up
It's alright, baby
Oh, if we just ride, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just ride
Just ride with me
Tell me every little thing is true
Tell me every little thing to see

Just ride
Get high with me
Tell me every little thing you do
Tell me every little thing you need

Just ride
Yeah, aye
Choose right, baby
Hold on

Just ride
Yeah, yeah
Just ride, baby
Hold on

As she takes another sip from her cup
I take another hit of the bud
This some good conversation
Yeah, ohh
And I′m glad that she′s loosening up
'Cause she tells me that it′s sexy as fuck
That I know the constellations
Yeah, baby

Now as we're floating down from outer space
We look each other dead in the face
But we won′t say a word
We won't say a word
Then our lips finally meet
And she says let′s go get something to eat
'Cause we can do this all night, baby
So I say let's ride, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just ride
Just ride with me
Tell me every little thing is true
Tell me every little thing to see

Just ride
Get high with me
Tell me every little thing you do
Tell me every little thing you need

Just ride
Yeah, aye
Choose right, baby
Hold on

Just ride
Yeah, yeah
Just ride, baby
Hold on

I think that I′m falling for you, baby
Maybe we should take it slow
Slow
Yeah

I think that I′m falling for you, baby
Maybe we should take it slow
Yeah, yeah

I think that I'm falling for you, baby
Maybe we should take it slow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I′m in love with you, baby
And I think that she knows, yeah

(Maybe she knows)

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Ride" by Steven A. Clark talks about two awkward people trying to have a conversation and connect with each other. The singer battles with his thoughts and realizes it's just a mental simulation. He then finally talks to the girl, but her beauty leaves him speechless. So, they just ride, enjoy each other's company, and get high together. They have a good conversation, and the girl loosens up, which makes it easier for them to connect. As they float down from outer space, they look into each other's eyes, and their lips finally meet. They want to spend the whole night together, and the singer says, "Let's ride baby!"

The song's lyrics reveal how two people can connect over shared interests and experiences, even when they are initially awkard. The girl's beauty and willingness to open up make it easier for the singer to connect with her. The song is a love ballad that touches on the idea that sometimes, the best way to connect with someone is to let go of your inhibitions and just ride with them.

Every single word
I can't seem to say anything to her

So I'm lightin' up
I am smoking to calm my nerves

Just to lighten up
Inhaling smoke to help me relax

Kick me seat back
I am reclining my seat

Put my feet up
I am making myself comfortable

It's alright, baby
I am trying to assure her and myself that everything is okay

Oh, if we just ride, baby
If we just relax and go with the flow, everything will be okay

Tell me every little thing is true
I want her to be truthful with me about everything

Tell me every little thing to see
I want her to show me everything she wants to share with me

Get high with me
I want to share the experience of smoking with her
