James Arthur Ride

Jame Artur, via apple music says;

It evokes a lot of imagery—cars, smoke, that kind of stuff. It’s probably the one that I’m doing the most rap on. Or you could say this is a rap verse. The other ones are rap verses, but they’re pop, lyrically. The punchlines aren’t too deep, they’re more focused on the flow and the melody. Whereas with this one, there’s a bit of a scheme to the rap. And I’m coming from quite a cold place. Drake was a bit of an inspiration for the first verse.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night

[Verse 1]
Yeah, they think I have it all, you know my life ain’t perfect
You see what’s underneath, you see what’s on the surface
You get the best of me, they get a lesser version
I don’t wanna run away, but you know that I get nervous

[Refrain]
Overdrive with the flashin’ lights got me feelin’ blind (Feelin’ blind)
Do or die, live a little lie, wanna feel alive (Do or die)
It’s been a while, in another life I wanna leave behind
Let’s get back to you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I got my eyes wide shut, drivin’ through the night
And my lungs are filled with purple haze (Are filled, yeah)
Yeah, I’m livin’ it up to get me out my mind
‘Cause it’s in my blood, rushin’ through my veins
I feel numb when I hear them say my name
Yeah, I’m livin’ it up, but I’d leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night (Baby, just to ride)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night (Baby, just to ride)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, so I fill my lungs with this weed smoke
That’s the only way we cope
Sick to death of these journalists
Diggin’ up my past, so I burn a spliff
And I hop on board my spaceship
Never hold down a relationship
And I fake shit, so I make ship
Show me something real and not makeshift
And I’ll build a bridge if we’re falling out
You don’t wanna know what I am all about
Got too many demons to summon out
Me and myself, these smoke clouds
I’m colder now, I’m covered in ice
I will not forget you were not very nice
This is how we separate the men from the mice
Let me give you advice
You can fool me once, but can’t fool me twice

[Refrain]
Overdrive with the flashin’ lights got me feelin’ blind (Feelin’ blind)
Do or die, live a little lie, wanna feel alive (Feel alive)
It’s been a while, in another life I wanna leave behind
Let’s get back to you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I got my eyes wide shut, drivin’ through the night
And my lungs are filled with purple haze (Filled, yeah)
Yeah, I’m livin’ it up to get me out my mind (To get me out my mind)
‘Cause it’s in my blood, rushin’ through my veins
I feel numb when I hear them say my name (Hear them say my name now)
Yeah, I’m livin’ it up, but I’d leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride (I wanna ride with you, baby)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night (Wanna ride)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night (Baby, ride)

[Bridge]
Only adrenaline pullin’ me through
Speeding one hundred to get back to you
I feel so reckless and I feel confused
Yeah, I do, baby
What if I pull up outside of your door?
Would you forgive me for all of my flaws?
I can’t go back to where I was before

[Chorus]
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride (Would you like to ride?)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night (I just wanna ride with you)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride with you, ride with you, ride (Wanna ride with you, baby, wanna ride with you, baby)
Baby, just to ride with you, ride, baby, all night

[Outro]
Baby, just to ride with you
