Yeah...let's ride Looks like the sun won't come out today But the weatherman said there's no chance of rain Every once in a while you need to get away It feels like voodoo dolls and prank calls everyday...yeah [Chorus:] But I believe that we're meant to fly Come with me, baby don't hide All your hopes and all your fears Are safe out here tonight 'Cause I believe that we're meant to fly So come on let's ride Sounds like the birds have stopped singing The cold winds must've come and taken them When all you want is to sing along and bring them back again It's all detours, red lights and dead ends I'll take you to a place that no one's ever been before Hanging on too long - the time has come to let go You gotta let go, yeah... Oh yeah...come on... Come on...let's ride...
