It’s a Wild Ride

We piled into my beat-up car, The night was young, but we drove too far, From the suburbs to the city lights, Where the music pulsed and the world felt right. Flickering candles, a basement glow, All the teens in the corner, singing songs we know, A sea of faces, laughter filled the air, But I only saw you, lost in your hair. And it’s a wild ride, oh With the people screaming, we’ll collide, oh A party so big, it’s a scene from a dream, oh But I’d do it all again, just to hear you scream When the cops came knocking, we ran like the wind, oh A police chase to nowhere, but I felt like I’d win, oh Cause you turned and smiled, and in that thrill, oh I knew for a moment, my heart was fulfilled We dashed through the alleys, your laugh echoed along, In the chaos, I felt like I finally belonged, With every heartbeat, the danger grew near, But I’d chase this moment and I’d have no fear. The flashing lights painted our silhouette on walls, We stumbled and fumbled, dodging them all, In the madness, I caught your eye, And for a heartbeat, we could fly. And it’s a wild ride, oh With the people screaming, we’ll collide, oh A party so big, it’s a scene from a dream, oh But I’d do it all again, just to hear you scream When the cops came knocking, we ran like the wind, oh A police chase to nowhere, but I felt like I’d win, oh Cause you turned and smiled, and in that thrill, oh I knew for a moment, my heart was fulfilled. Handcuffed in the back, but I’m feeling alive, With your laughter still fresh in my mind, “Is this what it takes?” I whispered to the night, To impress a girl who makes everything right. Behind those bars, I was lost in a dream, Still chasing your joy, or so it would seem. And it’s a wild ride, oh With the people screaming, we’ll collide, oh A party so big, it’s a scene from a dream, oh But I’d do it all again, just to hear you scream When the cops came knocking, we ran like the wind, oh A police chase to nowhere, but I felt like I’d win, oh Cause you turned and smiled, and in that thrill, oh I knew for a moment, my heart was fulfilled. Though I’m cuffed and alone, in this holding cell, I’d risk it all again, just to know you so well. And maybe one day, when the stars align, We’ll laugh about that night, you’ll still be mine.
