North American Ride Lyrics


Mallory Merk North American Ride

[Intro]
Woah, whoop-dee-do, okay

[Chorus]
I'm on a North American ride
Blue skies, summertime
Butterflies and inverted time
Scream at the top of your lungs
Fine daydreams made by the one you call "mine"
Take a plane, take a train, take a bus
Hold your tickets up, feelin' like I'm merciless
Can't break away from my bike chains
Rust on the freeway, bitin' mechanical dust
I'm on a North American high
Smoking kush out the window of the Greyhound line
Feelin' fine, hit Toronto, check my watch, the same time
Pay the fare with nickels and dimes
Bus driver looked me in the face
Said, "Baby girl, you should be covered in lace
On your deathbed not chasing bread"
Looked at him and said, "It's life I'm gonna chase"

[Refrain]
Sleeping with one eye open
Too bad, who cares I'm hopeless
Everything I got is stolen
Traveling hearts are swollen
Sleeping with one eye open
Too bad, who cares I'm hopeless
Everything I got is stolen
Traveling hearts are swollen
[Bridge]
I feel my hands, they're soakin'
Holding tube-tied hearts I've broken
Sleeping with the dark omen
Pulling closer to the golden
Around my neck, I'm chokin'
Sleepin' with my eyes open
I feel your mind, it's slowin'
Hold it too tight, ego swollen

[Chorus]
I'm on a North American ride
Blue skies, summertime
Butterflies and inverted time
Scream at the top of your lungs
Fine daydreams made by the one you call "mine"
Take a plane, take a train, take a bus
Hold your tickets up, feelin' like I'm merciless
Can't break away from my bike chains
Rust on the freeway, bitin' mechanical dust
I'm on a North American high
Smoking kush out the window of the Greyhound line
Feelin' fine, hit Toronto, check my watch, the same time
Pay the fare with nickels and dimes
Bus driver looked me in the face
Said, "Baby girl, you should be covered in lace
On your deathbed not chasing bread"
Looked at him and said, "It's life I'm gonna chase"
[Outro]
(It's life I'm gonna chase)
I'm on a North American ride
North American ride, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
I get it, I get it
Oh yeah, I get it
