"I don't need easy. I just need possible"


Verse 1

I never thought you could change my life around
And go from ordinary to absolutely beautiful
The day I sang Ride Away to you
Was the day I couldn't take my eyes off you
I've been thinking about you every day since that moment,
The day I sang Ride Away to you,
Even during the Friday football game
Chorus
I thought you were a pretty, athletic girl
Who I sometimes think about
But now girl, you're phenomenal in that;
You're a stunning, dancing queen
Who I can't stop thinking about
The day that you apologized
Saying you were going with someone else
Was the day I couldn't think straight
Every hunger went unfed, including this song
But I was able to do it
Because I thought of you
Verse 2
You're the reason I will try for all A's
You're the reason to graduate
Every image about you encourages me to believe
You're the reason I want to live
You're the girl I'd relish to have in a dream
Why am I drifting off
Thinking of others and not you
Verse 3
If I were to walk 10,000 miles
You're who I'd do it for
If I were to recall a date
I would think of October 1st, 2010
This was the day I sang Ride Away to you
This was the day I couldn't take my eyes off you
If I were to propose to someone
You're the first girl I would propose to
If I were to have one last day
I would like to spend all of it with you
If I were to find love for the second time
I’d want it to be you
If I were to have one last dance
You're the girl I would dance with
Chorus
I thought you were a pretty, athletic girl
Who I sometimes think about
But now girl, you're phenomenal in that;
You're a stunning, dancing queen
Who I can't stop thinking about
The day that you apologized
Saying you were going with someone else
Was the day I couldn't think straight
Every hunger went unfed, including this song
But I was able to do it
Because I thought of you
Verse 3
If I were to walk 10,000 miles
You're who I'd do it for
If I were to recall a date
I would think of October 1st, 2010
This was the day I sang Ride Away to you
This was the day I couldn't take my eyes off you
If I were to propose to someone
You're the first girl I would propose to
If I were to have one last day
I would like to spend all of it with you
If I were to find love for the second time
I’d want it to be you
If I were to have one last dance
You're the girl I would dance with
Bridge
I thought you were a pretty, athletic girl
Who I sometimes think about
But girl, you're phenomenal in that;
You're a stunning, dancing queen
Who I can't stop thinking about
The day I sang Ride Away to you
Was the day I couldn't take my eyes off you
No, I couldn't take my eyes off you
Couldn't my eyes off you take

What inspired me to write this song was when I sang Ride Away to a girl at my table.
