Along for the Ride
By: John Torres

V1
Took a ride on a rocket ship.
There were angels at the door.
Was brought the cup so I took a sip.
I didn’t know what it had in store.

pre
But that’s the way it happens.
Oh that’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,
We both know there’s not enough room.

v2
You did a twirl, took another dip.
And I hit “repeat” for the same song.
You took a ride on a rocket ship.
I took a dive falling headlong.

pre
And oh that’s the way it happens
Oh, that’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,
We both know there’s not enough room.

ch
Send a message to someone I am opened wide.
I’ve found the answers to problems, but they’re locked up inside.
Send a message to someone. You know I can’t hide.
Your riding shotgun, but you’ve just come along for the ride.

v3
Spoon-fed ten thousand lies,
Just thankful for the service.
Looking into those deep brown eyes,
Oh, and now I’m getting nervous.

pre
And oh, that’s the way it happens
That’s what makes your heart bloom.
Even though you’re laughing,
We both know there’s not enough room.

ch2
Send a message to someone I am opened wide.
I’ve found the answers to problems, but they’re locked up inside.
Send a message to someone. You know I can’t hide.
Your riding shotgun, but you’ve just come along for the ride.

br
And if I can’t go would that be okay?
Cause all the powers that be have followed your way.
And don’t you know, there’s a sign up ahead. Do not enter.
So I better turn this around because I will not enter.

v3
Took a ride on a rocket ship but the angel was not there.
