Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m not being tough, it’s just part of me, time,
Sheds a light on all the things that I do right and wrong,
I just wanna be some one, I just want to have some fun,
Picture this, we both will think forever more,
That we’re young that we’re dumb but that we know the score, time,
Finds a way to smash that preconception to the ground,
I think it’ll hurt me less if I can just keep you around
Take a ride and we’ll hide in the sunlight
baby you’re the one I want to be by my side
Yes it’s true I want you I know that you want me to
I don’t have nothing to lose we’ll be alright
I’m not sure, that I wanna do this anymore,
I’ve gone forward I’ve gone back so many times before, now,
And seems that I’m just all tied up, dried up,
But I don’t wanna let you down
Take a ride and we’ll hide in the sunlight
baby you’re the one I want to be by my side
Yes it’s true I want you I know that you want me to
I don’t have nothing to lose we’ll be alright
‘Cause baby you’re the best type,
Say what you like you know the vibe,
Even in the worst fight, even when it’s not right,
I know that we’ll be just fine
Take a ride and we’ll hide in the sunlight
baby you’re the one I want to be by my side
Yes it’s true I want you I know that you want me to
I don’t have nothing to lose we’ll be alright
Take a ride and we’ll hide in the sunlight
baby you’re the one I want to be by my side
Yes it’s true I want you I know that you want me to
I don’t have nothing to lose we’ll be alright
