Joyride Songtext
von Best Ex

Finally made it to the UK
I didn′t feel like leaving the bus
So I slept till noon
Walked those cobblestone streets
Wondering where everyone was

And you used to live here
A couple miles away from the church
When you turned 18
You followed your dreams
To Manchester

And oh, the universe takes its sweet time
Driving my heart around on a joyride
Like it's a rental car
Don′t gotta pay for the parts that you break

But I'm so glad that you found me
I'm so glad that you found me
And I′m so glad that you found me
I′m so glad that you found me


You moved to London
Where I cut my hair backstage
You thought you might buy
A ticket that night
But you never actually came

And out in California
Where you bought your first nice car
Mine was breaking down outside of town
And I was looking at the stars
Thinking

Oh, the universe takes its sweet time
Driving my heart around on a joyride
Like it's a rental car
Don′t gotta pay for the parts that you break

But I'm so glad that you found me
I′m so glad that you found me
And I'm so glad that you found me
I′m so glad that you found me

Beneath a tree in the summer heat
This city has stolen my sanity
Knew the second I saw your face
Don't want to watch you walk away


Moved down the street from our first date
Held me for the big heartbreak
Saying, Hail Mary, full of grace
Don't want to watch you walk away

The universe takes its sweet time

But I′m so glad that you found me
I′m so glad that you found me
And I'm so glad that you found me
I′m so glad that you found me

(Beneath a tree in the summer heat)
But I'm so glad that you found me
(This city has stolen my sanity)
I′m so glad that you found me
(Knew the second I saw your face
Don't want to watch you walk away)

(Moved down the street from our first date)
And I′m so glad that you found me
(Held me for the big heartbreak)
I'm so glad that you found me
(Saying hail Mary, full of grace
You'll never watch me walk away)
