Empty words full of hate
Are all playing into the hands of fate
Say you're sorry when you don't mean it
But I forgive you anyway

Tough times are here so fast
But we gotta make this bond between us last
So if you want to go speeding down the broken road
Just don't end up with your heart in a cast

[Chorus:]
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Just feel the rhythm in your soul
Turn your head
Up towards the sky
Feel the melody soar up high
When lights blind you
Til you can't see straight
Or a red light blinks
And you have to wait
Look right to your side
I'm right there shining bright
Cause nothing could ever be better
Than the thrill of the ride

Take a detour and you end up getting lost
But this adventure may far outweight the cost
So if you left your toothbrush back at home
Remember that you can always floss

If you run out of gas in the middle of the street
Turn this song up high and listen to the beat
While you wait for time to pass on by
So I can come and rescue you from the heat
Like I always do

[Chorus]

Chasing down dreams
May never lead you back to me
But I'll always be
The friend that you're gonna need
I won't tell you that you're crazy and you're not gonna make it
I'll always be right here to wipe away your tears
There are gonna be some people who'll always try to fake it
But I'll always be right here to make you smile

[Chorus 2x]

Oooh...
Than the thrill of the ride...
