This song sees Anthony Kiedis exploring the idea of love from a place of empathy. By inhabiting other perspectives in the first-person singular (“My name is…”), he considers what it’s like for different people to experience love, a fitting theme for an album called Unlimited Love.
In fact, he moves...
[Verse 1]
My name is Veronica
I come from the South Side of Chicago
Remember my raincoat
We love you the same way, and
My life is a rope swing
Always headin' back to from where I came
Got no need to blame you
[Chorus]
Danger, danger
Everyone goes for a ride
Danger, danger
Everyone loses their mind
[Verse 2]
My name is Nebraska
I live in a matchbox of Omaha
It's nothin' fantastic
We love you the same way, and
You call me Maria
My life on the north side of Miami
I might comе and see ya
[Chorus]
Danger, danger
Everyonе goes for a ride (Let's go for a ride now)
Danger, danger (Everyone)
Everyone loses their mind (Okay)
[Verse 3]
My name is "I love you"
I come from the same place as everyone
Just lucky to be here
We love you the same way, and
This heart is relentless
I love you the most when you're down and out
Please come to my senses
'Cause we all play the same game
[Chorus]
Danger, danger
Everyone goes for a ride (Here we go, my friends)
Danger (Everyone), danger (Everyone)
Everyone loses their mind
[Bridge]
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time since I took you, my toll
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time since I took you, my soul
I don't want it to be broken up
I don't want it to be without love
[Outro]
This is the end
My passionate friend
My passionate friend
I send my love from, now
This is the end
My passionate friend
My passionate friend
Ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I don't want it to be broken up)
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time since I took you, my soul
(I don't want it to be without love)
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time, yeah, yeah, yeah
