RIDE – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Rub your eyes tonight

Let's run away

Light it up for us

Feel no shame

Counting miles and stars

We won't change

Realise we're lost

But I'm away

Break out, take me far away

They don't know what we are

Dreamer, wait now, let them chase

To the lights off your car

I don't mind the night

No, we'll be fine

When the cold creeps in, you warm my skin

Leave the pride outside for love tonight

Just smoke with me in leather seats and

Ride

Drive

Ride

Ride

Ride

Ride

Rest your soul and I'll

Take the wheel

Burn out every tyre

Then drive us in

Break out, take me far away

They don't know what we are

Dreamer, wait now, let them chase

To the lights off your car

I don'0t mind the night

No, we'll be fine

When the cold creeps in, you warm my skin

Leave the pride outside for love tonight

Just smoke with me in leather seats and

Ride

Drive

Ride

Ride

(Ride)

Ride

I don't mind the night

No, we'll be fine

When the cold creeps in, you warm my skin

Leave the pride outside for love tonight

Just smoke with me in leather seats and

Ride

Drive

Ride

Ride

Ride

I don't mind the night

No, we'll be fine

When the cold creeps in, you warm my skin

Ride

Ride

Ride
