Take a Ride

(Verse 1) In the quiet of the night, I'm lost in my fears, Keeping distance, hiding tears. Scared to open up, scared to let you see, The walls I've built around me. (Pre-Chorus) But your smile breaks through, like sunlight in the rain, I'm drawn to you, yet I hesitate in vain. (Chorus) Afraid to be vulnerable, afraid to fall, Guarding my heart, against it all. But I can't deny, this longing inside, To let go of fear, and take a ride. Verse 2: In the twilight of the city, where dreams collide, I see your shadow, standing by my side. You're like a breeze that whispers through the trees, But I'm tangled in the doubts that won't release. Pre-Chorus: Yet your touch is warm, like a midsummer's night, I feel the pull, but I still resist the light. Chorus: Afraid to be vulnerable, afraid to fall, Guarding my heart, against it all. But I can't deny, this longing inside, To let go of fear, and take a ride. [Guitar solo] Bridge: Like a song unsung, like a story untold, I dream of love, but I can't be bold. In the neon glow of this endless maze, I'm searching for courage, through this haze. Chorus: Afraid to be vulnerable, afraid to fall, Guarding my heart, against it all. But I can't deny, this longing inside, To let go of fear, and take a ride. [Vocalizations] Outro: So here I stand, at the edge of the unknown, With a heart that's torn, but not alone. In the city of angels, I'll make a choice tonight, To face my fears, and step into the light. [End guitar rift]
