Lyrics

This Wild Ride

Sleep tight

I will come to your defense

Whatever road you're taking

Tonight

I know nothing's making sense

But I'll guard the room you wake in

Close your eyes

Follow the sound of my voice

My voice

'Cause I'm gonna sing

You are the boat, I'm the ocean that rocks you to sleep

You're the balloon, I'm the ballast attached to the string

If you're in too deep

Or you climb too high

On this wild, this wild ride

Sleep tight

There are dreams you have not dreamed

Doors to worlds unopened

Don't fight

Some questions aren't worth answering

Some hearts that break aren't broken

Close your eyes

Follow the sound of my voice

My voice

'Cause I'm gonna sing

You are the boat, I'm the ocean that rocks you to sleep

You're the balloon, I'm the ballast attached to the string

If you're in too deep

Or you climb too high

On this wild, this wild ride

This wild ride

You know what you'll find

On this wild, this wild ride
