Story Behind the Song
This song is the result of trying to help someone who wasn't ready or was too afraid to make changes in their life. At some point it feels like you care more about them then they do about themselves, but you are powerless. The Ride is the up and downs of being involved with someone in this situation. And realizing to keep sane you need to walk away from them.
Lyrics
The Ride
Find some trash, look for a trash can
If they ask, youre doing fine
Then you laugh, think that youve fooled them
Easy to run and hide
Come to me with your excuses
This is the life that you choose
I know that you have had some bruises
Looks to me like you still want to loose
So go on, yeah go on
Go on with the fear and the pain you hold so dear
Just go on
Memories, they come divided
Yes theres pleasure and theres pain
Im too tired from the ride Im on
Do not treasure what remains
So you grab on and you hold tighter
What the hell is it that you want from me
Im not here to be your fighter
Thats your responsibility
So grow up, just grow up
Grow up, you take charge, in your hands you hold your cards
Just grow up
Find some trash, look for a trash can
If they ask, say that Im looking too
Then you can laugh and hide away again
I can do no more for you
Find some trash, look for a trash can
Find some trash, honey then look for a trash can
Cause I can, yeah I can
