[Verse 1] The coffee shop was empty except a table by the door A ten-minute conversation, we're not strangers anymore And I knew what I would answer before he even asked Something 'bout the way he held his shoulders when he laughed Small talk in the suburbs to flying 80 on the 10 Just me and him and a Moto Guzzi bike between our legs The Interstate gave way to the winding mountain roads I leaned into the curves as if I knew how this should go
[Chorus] But I've always been the girl to hang back and play it safe So afraid of getting hurt by the risks I never take But I learned two things that night Don't hang on too tight and always take that motorcycle ride
[Verse 2] The mountain air was sweet and I sipped it in like wine His cabin smelled of redwood and linseed oil and thyme I steadied on his arm, still feeling the bike move After holding on so hard to everything I had to prove We drifted 'round in circles on the lake all afternoon Stories of our lives and loves and phases of the moon I couldn't tell you whether it was waxing or it waned But it moved so slow and slight that I never see it change
[Chorus] But I've always been the girl to hang back and play it safe So afraid of getting hurt by the risks I never take But I learned two things that night Don't hang on too tight and always take that motorcycle ride
[Verse 3] Some people cross you path and you know they'll always stay Others fly you up a mountain and they're gone the way they came But that day up at the cabin, that night spent in the pines That boy and his bike are ever gentle on my mind
[Chorus] But I've always been the girl to hang back and play it safe So afraid of getting hurt by the risks I never take But I learned two things that night Don't hang on too tight and always take that motorcycle rideTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
