WHEN THIS RIDE IS OVER

WE BOUGHT THE TICKET AND PAID THE PRICE,
FOR A FEW PRECIOUS MOMENTS IN PARADISE
SOMETHING WAS VENTURED, NOTHING WAS LOST,
WE HAD WHAT WE HAD WHILE OUR LIVES WERE CROSSED
BUT, I DON'T REGRET WHAT WE'VE DONE,
IT'S ALL BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.

WHEN THIS RIDE IS OVER,
AND I'VE GOT BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND,
YOU KNOW THAT I'LL ACT SOBER, AND LEAVE WITHOUT A SOUND.
IF WE BOTH AGREE IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE,
THAT IT'S JUST NOT THE TIME AND PLACE,
IF I'VE GOTTA GO, WELL, I'M GONNA GO
WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE
WHEN THIS RIDE IS OVER,
WHEN THIS RIDE IS OVER.

SOMETIMES A FEELING IS HARD TO FIGHT,
AND THE LONGER YOU HOLD OUT, THE MORE YOU MIGHT.
SOMEBODY GAVE IN, NOONE COMPLAINED,
WE DIDN'T RISK MUCH FOR ALL THAT WE GAINED.
I GUESS WE GOT CAUGHT IN THE FLOW,
AND NEITHER OF US COULD SAY NO.

(CHORUS)

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST LOVE ON EARTH,
BUT, WE JUST TOOK EACH DAY, FOR WHAT IT WAS WORTH.

(CHORUS)
