[Verse 1]
Something strange happened to me
All I ever wanted, it was nothing I need
Doesn't matter to me
It don't matter to me
When I said that I'm okay
All the power that you had, it just slipped away
Doesn't matter to me
It don't matter to me

[Chorus]
Take the ride
Take the ride, take the ride
Take the ride, take the ride
Take the ride, oh-woah-woah-woah

[Verse 2]
Always gotta climb the ladder
Someone else will always do it, they'll do it better
Here's your prize for competition
They would die for your position
Everything I thought I wanted
I can see it's nothing, nothing I need
I'm not gonna ask permission
I'll never ask permission
[Chorus]
Take the ride
Take the ride, take the ride
Take the ride, take the ride
Take the ride, oh-woah-woah-woah
