Rollercoaster, Pt. 2

Welcome to the ride I call home A place where the wheels twist and turn Many times each day It makes my head spin From all the ups and downs Full spins half spins quarter spins My mind and body goes through Everyday messing with the chemicals Flowing through my brain Are you ready to ride In the front seat with your belt fastened So tight it hurts to move We're on this ride together You and me on this wild journey It amazes me that you stayed Past the merry-go-round stage Where everything's all peachy And easy at the beginning But you took on the challenge To ride the leviathan with me You let me find myself After the wheels fell off And the ride kept derailing Off the tracks more than once Mistake after mistake It was you that made the sacrifices It was never me that did It was always you That put my health before yours I'm sorry the ride I took you on Had rusted wheels and faulty brakes I didn't want these residual effects for you We're on this ride together You and me on this wild journey It amazes me that you stayed Past the merry-go-round stage Where everything's all peachy And easy at the beginning But you took on the challenge To ride the leviathan with me A note to self from future me Appreciate what you have Before it's all disappears And you can't fully recover from it Giving you permanent scars That you will have for eternity Something you can't afford Even if the price was dirt cheap We're on this ride together You and me on this wild journey It amazes me that you stayed Past the merry-go-round stage Where everything's all peachy And easy at the beginning But you took on the challenge To ride the leviathan with me
