Lyrics
Take Your Own Ride by Britt Connors
You say it’s not rainin’ when I can feel it on my skin
Just when I see clearly, you give the old kaleidoscope a spin
You reason with reason, twisting the truth ‘til it fits your tale
Then you weigh all your options, with your finger firmly on the scale
You take me up, you take me down,
Got me spinning ‘round in circles, can’t tell which way is the ground
Messed with my mind, wasted my time
I’m steppin’ off this roller coaster… You can take your own ride…
Queen of your chaos, victim of all, damsel in distress
So you see who comes runnin’, but the sky is not falling, it’s your own wicked test
Livin’ on this high wire, the thin air has become my friend
Vertigo’s so familiar, I’m drunk on your drama, can I get sober again?
You take me up, you take me down,
Got me spinning ‘round in circles, can’t tell which way is the ground
Messed with my mind, wasted my time
I’m steppin’ off this roller coaster… You can take your own ride…
No tickets to this altitude, no parachute to break my fall
I’m tired of being made the fool, at your beck and call
You take me up, you take me down,
Got me spinning ‘round in circles, can’t tell which way is the ground
Messed with my mind, wasted my time
I’m steppin’ off this roller coaster… You can take your own ride…
