(I can think it over)
(I could let you know)
Do you hear me?
Cuz I say it all the time
Do you want me?
But it doesn't feel quite right
You know that you've got me
But I play it otherwise
And you know it's on my mind
Are you really down to ride?
I'm moving forward at the speed of light
I know exactly why I'm doing right
And even when you want me by your side
