Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Allow me to set the scene
When I met you, I'd never done ecstasy
Just a girl with a dream
Remember?
Back then I still had wisdom teeth
In my head, just a girl in the night
And in bed I would still fake a scream of pleasure
But can you see now?

[Pre-Chorus]
That girl is a woman so call a stretch limousine
For her desires and demons, you don't know what she's seen
There are ghosts that she hides
But I know all she wants is to get down

[Chorus]
Every night, the silver moon, it changes
Can you say the same? Do you stay the same?
Can you change with me? Can I be honest?
Can I press where it hurts, my baby?
I wanna ride with you

[Verse 2]
Baby, we love in extremes
Every touch like a prayer
When we're there, can't compare
Tell me why do we need to suffer?
Feels like the AC is broken
I said something that touched a nerve
You blow up and I go dark
The way my mind does
The angels cry for us
'Cause they can see now

[Pre-Chorus]
That girl is a woman so call a stretch limousine
For her desires and demons, you don't know what she's seen
There are ghosts that she hides
But I know all she wants is to get down

[Chorus]
Every night, the silver moon, it changes
Can you stay the same? Do you stay the same?
Can you change with me? Can I be honest?
Can I press where it hurts, my baby?
I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you

[Bridge]
Baby, when the moon is gleamin'
With your heart open, breathe in
I would never dream of leavin'
Baby, when the moon is gleamin'
With your heart open, breathe in
I would never dream of leavin'
I would never dream of leavin'

[Outro]
I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you[Verse 1]
Allow me to set the scene
When I met you, I'd never done ecstasy
Just a girl with a dream
Remember?
Back then I still had wisdom teeth
In my head, just a girl in the night
And in bed I would still fake a scream of pleasure
But can you see now?

[Pre-Chorus]
That girl is a woman so call a stretch limousine
For her desires and demons, you don't know what she's seen
There are ghosts that she hides
But I know all she wants is to get down

[Chorus]
Every night, the silver moon, it changes
Can you say the same? Do you stay the same?
Can you change with me? Can I be honest?
Can I press where it hurts, my baby?
I wanna ride with you

[Verse 2]
Baby, we love in extremes
Every touch like a prayer
When we're there, can't compare
Tell me why do we need to suffer?
Feels like the AC is broken
I said something that touched a nerve
You blow up and I go dark
The way my mind does
The angels cry for us
'Cause they can see now

[Pre-Chorus]
That girl is a woman so call a stretch limousine
For her desires and demons, you don't know what she's seen
There are ghosts that she hides
But I know all she wants is to get down

[Chorus]
Every night, the silver moon, it changes
Can you stay the same? Do you stay the same?
Can you change with me? Can I be honest?
Can I press where it hurts, my baby?
I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you

[Bridge]
Baby, when the moon is gleamin'
With your heart open, breathe in
I would never dream of leavin'
Baby, when the moon is gleamin'
With your heart open, breathe in
I would never dream of leavin'
I would never dream of leavin'

[Outro]
I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you
