Take A Ride You don't have the right, if you're not on my side You don't have the right to criticize You're saying I have to take this all You don't have the right to make that call at all You're saying I just don't have the right face But what does it matter when I got sound to fill the space missing in your heart You're saying I just don't fit the part But what does it matter when we're lying close in the dark Take a ride take a swing. Runaway with something different than you've ever seen Have the will, try to be the one to help character survive Don't runaway try to hide. Try to be someone that you have never been Don't fall away, try to stay with the things that keep us alive. People live their lives trying to get to the end of the day And they never realize there's life in the here and now You've got to see beauty in every waking moment Only in this way can we be alive And I can show you how to be alive 'cause I think I'm alive, alive, oh Take a ride take a swing. Runaway with something different than you've ever seen Have the will, try to be the one to help character survive Don't runaway try to hide. Try to be someone that you have never been Don't fall away, try to stay with the things that keep us alive. You say you think I'm funny trying to get everyone to listen to my songs But I tell you this; this music is my life. So you can sit in your ivory tower and tell me how bizarre I am, or you can... Take a ride take a swing. Runaway with something different than you've ever seen Have the will, try to be the one to help character survive Don't runaway try to hide. Try to be someone that you have never been Don't fall away, try to stay with the things that keep us alive. And I can show you how to be alive 'Cause I'm alive. I think I'm alive.
