I wrote this out of a fear that everybody that gets close to me also gets wet in the most unsexy way imaginable. It’s a song about catharsis through tearshed but also through being able to laugh at yourself at your weakest points.
[Verse 1]
Not too shy for the deep dive
I got that ocean wide eyed surprise
Just as blue in the daytime
As in the loneliest night
So can you swim alright?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby I got tears in my eyes
Almost all of the time
And baby I am not gonna lie
Wanna soak up your life
[Chorus]
I'll be your ride or cry
Holding onto you through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
Just hold onto me through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
[Verse 2]
You see these sky high grey eyes
I can make 'em rain or shine
I'll always say I'm fine
But like a wet look still life
They're never ever bone dry
So can you just be mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby I got tears in my eyes
Almost all of the time
And baby you do not have to try
This is how I get by
[Chorus]
I'll be your ride or cry
Holding onto you through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
Just hold onto me through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
[Bridge]
Don't it make you wanna ride?
Don't it make you wanna come by?
Don't it make you wanna sigh?
Don't it make you wanna cry?
[Chorus]
Holding onto you through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
Just hold onto me through the night
I'll be your ride or cry
Wanna be your ride or cry
Let me be your ride or cry
Even when the tide gets high
I'll be your ride or cry
