Lou Barlow - Beauty of the Ride lyrics

Never did and never will It's just the way it's always been I've made mistakes before I'll make the same again And all this tension we ignore Surely works its ugly way inside I have known that nothing's fair Surely what did I expect? When magic slips into the air And every day's another test And all this tension we ignore It surely works its ugly way outside So let it build, let it explode Leaving blood and shattered bone Or bite your tongue Till you've forgotten what to say And take another step back Until you find you've walked away Silence like disease But I dare not say it hurts ‘Cause if I honestly react Nothing's ever going to work And all this tension back and forth It's just the beauty of the ride It's just the beauty of the ride So let it build, let it explode Leaving blood and shattered bone Or bite your tongue Till you've forgotten what to say And take another step back Until you find you've walked away
