The Ride - Matt Hartgering

I haven't felt this way for such a long time
At this point. In this room, there are more stairs to climb.
These feelings, like echoes, but each with a new pulse
Like the one I feel beat beside me, fortune best not deny me

So why do I feel guilty,
Now that you're finally mine?
And why do I feel guilty,
To let my heart out on the line?

Again…

Can't let myself get too bus not getting hurt
Reckless abandon tugs like a hungry child at my shirt
Not easy to ignore all those tears that I cried
But it's not, "here we go again," it's, "let's enjoy the ride."

So why am I so afraid
Now that you're finally mine?
And why am I so afraid
To let my heart out on the line?

Again…Again…

Maybe all I need to know and all I need to understand
Is that you're lying next to me, and that your heart is in my hands
I whisper a sweet melody into your slumbering ear
A warm and timeless lullaby, just to remind you that I'm here

But oh for that music in my soul that plays whenever you're around
It's just you and it's just me and the rest just fades into the background
Your warm breath on my skin, your sweet lips tasting mine.
Just a little longer please.We're running out of time

So why am I so lucky
Now that you're finally mine?
And why am I so lucky
To let my heart out on the line?

To you…To you…

And there is no where that I would rather be
Than right here with you sleeping right beside me
And as I ponder this sweet dream of you
I realize there is no one I would rather sing to.
No one I would rather sing to…
