Ride in the Unknown - Nada Surf

I was away, I don’t know where, it was a daily state

I drew a map, but it expired

I’d find a car with open doors and take a ride

I took a nap, there was no driver

I’d find a thing that I could take that would do the trick

After a while, I got no higher

Ride in the unknown

Survive and never grow

Sliding alone

Why is never known

There is no getting away in a haunted house

When every window is a mirror

Can’t recognize the people who I used to be

Alone at night in my private theater

But we all play a little bit with mythology

I don’t know if it makes things clearer

Hiding from myself

Alone, no one to tell

Pay rent to have this shell

Pay rent to have this cell

(Ooh)

(Ooh)

In the blue moon, I

Could sing the blues to sleep

While they were out

I’d have a good week

Ride in the unknown

Survive and never grow

Sliding alone

Why is never known

I never knew (I never knew)

I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)

I never knew (I never knew)

I never knew who I wanted to be (Who I wanted to be)

I never knew

The good and the bad news will still be there

But don’t think about that now

Lift your anchor, set your sail

Now the lights are all turned out

Find your peace and find some sleep

I’ll be your lookout

When it’s my turn, you’ll be that for me

And you’ll quiet all my doubt

Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)

Survive and never grow (But don’t think about that now)

Sliding alone (Lift your anchor, set your sail)

Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)

Ride in the unknown (Find your peace and find some sleep)

Survive and never grow (I'll be your lookout)

Sliding alone (When it’s my turn, you’ll be that for me)

Why is never known (And you’ll quiet all my doubt)

Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)

Survive and never grow (But don’t think about that now)

Sliding alone (Lift your anchor, set your sail)

Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
