Just A Ride Lyrics
Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then bang
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
And then you
Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run
No need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride
Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
Our way we
Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride
Slowly, oh so very slowly
Except that
There's no getting off
So live it
Just gotta go with it
'Cause this ride's never gonna stop
Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run
No need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared now
Dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget enjoy the ride
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then bang
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
And then you
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because
No need to run
No need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
Our way we
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride
Except that
There's no getting off
So live it
Just gotta go with it
'Cause this ride's never gonna stop
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all

Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared now
Dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget enjoy the ride

As an OC fan, I would like to say this song is fantastic to dance to. I love the episode "The Countdown", and this is featured on the widely popular show. :)
agreed. OC is awesomeeeee + some of my favorite tunes i get off the show. :)
I love this song. It is the ultimate "oh no, I'm having a bad day song" .. Puts everything in perspective every time. Thanks, Jem...
I wonder is she truly truly truly outrageous like Gem from the holograms.. Random '80s moment there.. he he he
can you say OC?
I can, actually.
does this song have anything to do with bill hicks?maybe jem was a fan(or whoever writes jems songsshrugs)
i dont watch oc bt really like dis song adm. its 1 of da best rt adm imo lol
whos bill hicks?? I love this song ( and the o.c.!). its just about loving life and not freaking out over everything. puts me in a good mood!
its a wicked song and i really like the lyrics, they mean something to me, and this song always makes me smile. p.s i love the oc.
Chelsea, Bill hicks is probably the best stand up comedian ever, and the song is definately about one of his ideas, although he would probably be turning in his grave if he knew and artist like jem was singin about him like this. basically bills idea was that life isnt real and we are only the imagination of oursleves (can u smell the LSD too?) and thats what this song is about 'lifes just a ride'
