Ride By Your Side

You can tell me the hard truth and I can take it
You can tell me the worst news and I can take it
Rip the band aid off it hurts but I will take it
But please don't make me lose you

You are the love of my life
Here's a crash course in what we felt
At that Los Angeles intersection
Thank God you wore a seat belt
If you hit pavement and bleed out
If your wheel slips and your feet fail
If you're given to God as debris sails
I don't wanna relive all the details
Of the cops and the lawyers and tow trucks
Suddenly we were the grown ups
And imagine if you never woke up
When you always been telling me "don't rush"
We revel in heaven and reckon with anything
That we get left when we're dead and gone
This debt of ours is a mental scar
Of your rental car
Don't wanna to imagine you dying to breathe
Forty five miles an hour the glass up and flying
Aside at the scene
The steel and aluminum grinding
There might have been angels
A fire released from the fibers beneath
And I'm rushing across every sidewalk
And desperately hoping to God that you'll smile at me
And then I arrive at the scene

You can tell me the hard truth and I can take it
You can tell me the worst news and I can take it
Rip the band aid off it hurts but I will take it
But please don't make me lose you

You almost were the loss of my life
My kinda Koala adventure taker
Thank God for your seat belt
Thank God you weren't a second later
With four lanes at that intersection
There's one way that this could have gone
Your alma mater or Santa Maria
Just wanted something to look upon
You closed your eyes at the broken lights
With no self assurance you dealt the courage
There at the hospital holding hands
With no real understanding of health insurance
It shattered your back
Cracking the glass
I know that we joke
That we're bad at the math
But one car
Plus another car
Plus another car
Plus another car
The passenger side was totaled
If I was there
I would have died
But some themes are just on time and
Some people just survive and
No one saw it coming
How our lives would collide
So I mean it when I say
I'll always ride by your side
No one saw it coming
How our lives would collide
So I mean it when I say
I'll always ride by your side
Till we die

You can tell me the hard truth and I can take it
You can tell me the worst news and I can take it
Rip the band aid off it hurts but I will take it
But please don't make me lose you

Until we die
Until we die
I will ride
By your side
Until we die
Until we die
I will ride
By your side
Until we die
Until we die
I will ride
By your side
Until we die
Until we die
I will ride
I will ride
By your side
