Nada Surf – Ride In The Unknown lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was away, I don't know where, it was a daily state
I drew a map, but it expired
I find a car with open doors as I take a ride
I took a nap, there was no driver
I find a thing that I could take that would do the trick
After a while, I got no higher

[Chorus]
Ride in the unknown
Survive, never growin'
We're sliding alone
Wise, never know

[Verse 2]
There is no getting away in a haunted house
When every window is a mirror
Can't recognize the people who I used to be
Alone at night in my private theater
But we all play a little bit with mythology
I don't know if it makes things clearer

[Chorus]
Hiding from myself
Alone, no one to tell
Pay rent to have this shell
Pay rent to have this cell

[Refrain]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
In the blue moon, I
Could sing the blues to sleep
While they were out
I'd have a good week

[Chorus]
Ride in the unknown
Survive, never growin'
We're sliding alone
Wise, never know

[Bridge]
I never knew (I never knew)
I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)
I never knew (I never knew)
I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)
I never knew
Good or bad news, I'll still be there
But don't think about that now
Lift your anger, set your sail
Now the lights are all turned out
Find your peace and find some sleep
I'll be here to guide
When it's my turn, you'll be there for me
And you'll quiet all my doubt

[Chorus]
Ride in the unknown (Good or bad news, I'll still be there)
Survive, never growin' (But don't think about that now)
We're sliding alone (Lift your anger, set your sail)
Wise, never known (Now the lights are all turned out)

[Chorus]
Ride in the unknown (Find your peace, find some sleep)
Survive, never growin' (I'll be here to guide)
We're sliding alone (When it's my turn, you'll be there for me)
Wise, never know (And you'll quiet all my doubt)

[Outro]
Ride in the unknown (The good or the bad news, I'll still be there)
Survive, never growin' (But don't think about that now)
We're sliding alone (Lift your anger, set your sail)
Wise, never know (Now the lights are all turned out)
