Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life, it's ever so strange, it's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then bang, right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course and then you breakdown
Yeah, you breakdown, well, don't you, breakdown
Listen to me
[Verse 2]
Because, it's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget, it's just a ride
[Verse 3]
Truth, we don't wanna hear (Don't wanna hear)
It's too much to take (Too much to take)
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans (We make our plans)
Ten times a day (Ten times a day)
And when they don't go our way, we
Breakdown, yeah, we breakdown, well, don't you breakdown
Listen to me
[Verse 4]
Because it's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget, it's just a ride
[Verse 5]
Slowly, oh, so very slowly
Except that there's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
'Cause this ride's never gonna stop (Stop, stop, stop)
Breakdown, don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown, no need at all
[Verse 6]
Because, it's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget, enjoy the ride
[Verse 7]
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget, enjoy the ride
