lyrics
so you had your whole future figured out
you’d conquer the whole thing and build anew
but worn down by the dull grind, resigned to lie down
seeds sown in the soul’s mud refused to grow
so what?
it’s just a ride
swell terrified, alternating with the tide
and these some-odd years,
you’re afraid they’re passing by
and you’re afraid that you lost your way
it’s alright
some people get only the bitter rind
we don’t have it so bad, I can’t pretend
and all life is a tough grind, at least we know
grow, nurture and chop down and start again
so what?
it’s just a ride
swell terrified, alternating with the tide
and these some-odd years,
you’re afraid they’re passing by
and you’re afraid that you lost your way
it’s all right
you’d conquer the whole thing and build anew
but worn down by the dull grind, resigned to lie down
seeds sown in the soul’s mud refused to grow
so what?
it’s just a ride
swell terrified, alternating with the tide
and these some-odd years,
you’re afraid they’re passing by
and you’re afraid that you lost your way
it’s alright
some people get only the bitter rind
we don’t have it so bad, I can’t pretend
and all life is a tough grind, at least we know
grow, nurture and chop down and start again
so what?
it’s just a ride
swell terrified, alternating with the tide
and these some-odd years,
you’re afraid they’re passing by
and you’re afraid that you lost your way
it’s all right
