The Ride (Hold On To Me) Lyrics

We can't merely be along for the ride

Passivity would break us

We will train our hearts and minds to abide

No matter what it takes us

But I'm harnessed to my remorse

Tried to get free yet I'm unable

We so quickly got off course

From when I promised you something stable

Hard times come and sometimes stay

And the fact is, they don't have to change

Will we make it, will we break

If we get saddled with lifelong pain?

I don't want to buckle beneath the weight

Of the vows I spent my whole life trying to make

Tragedy is approaching from all sides

Are you threatened to forsake us?

We can't rein it in or take it in stride

It beckons to remake us

It'll cut down to the source

Halting every cheap name and label

Until we acknowledge its force

And invite it to eat at our table

Hard times come and sometimes stay

And the fact is, they don't have to change

Will we make it, will we break

If we get saddled with lifelong pain?

I don't want to buckle beneath the weight

Of the vows I spent my whole life trying to make

She stands far too tall, so I help you to mount

Unaccustomed to being so high off the ground

No helmets, no training, not even a rein

You hold on to me, I grasp onto the mane

When she starts to trot, we want her to gallop

When she starts her gallop, we want her to stop

What seemed so exciting is now so unsafe

It's too late to ask how we got to this place

We're picking up pace toward an unknown terrain

You hold on to me, I grasp onto the mane

Brisker motion than we ever expected

Hold tight with whatever trust we've collected

Hard times come and sometimes stay

And the fact is, they don't have to change

Will we make it, will we break

If we get saddled with lifelong pain?

I don't want to buckle beneath the weight

Of the vows I spent my whole life trying to make
