Cold feet, a set of shakin' hands Feel like the sun never shines And believe no matter what you planned What you'll have ain't what you had in mind I'd say that it's time you calmed down, now darling Enjoy the insanity And realize sometimes the harder you try The more you get in the way Yeah it's a still life, call it what you will, but when the stars have aligned It wouldn't all be so hard if ya breathe it in and learn to let it ride Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride Should have a house on the water Yeah, with enough put away To keep you held up, loungin' in the sunshine It's all just sex and sweet lemonade But when the water has soured And daily life disappoints Why spend the hours slavin' in the salt mine Prayin' you don't land in the joint Yeah it's a steep climb; you're crawlin' uphill--all for a pie in the sky When it all gets too hopeless then breathe it in and learn to let it ride Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride Feels cheap only wishin' for better days Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride Why don't you ever let it Why don't you ever let it ride
