Cold feet, a set of shakin' hands
Feel like the sun never shines
And believe no matter what you planned
What you'll have ain't what you had in mind
I'd say that it's time you calmed down, now darling
Enjoy the insanity
And realize sometimes the harder you try
The more you get in the way
Yeah it's a still life, call it what you will, but when the stars have aligned
It wouldn't all be so hard if ya breathe it in and learn to let it ride
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
Should have a house on the water
Yeah, with enough put away
To keep you held up, loungin' in the sunshine
It's all just sex and sweet lemonade
But when the water has soured
And daily life disappoints
Why spend the hours slavin' in the salt mine
Prayin' you don't land in the joint
Yeah it's a steep climb; you're crawlin' uphill--all for a pie in the sky
When it all gets too hopeless then breathe it in and learn to let it ride
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
Feels cheap only wishin' for better days
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
Why don't you ever let it
Why don't you ever let it ride
