Kim Baker: Songs & Lyrics

I also wrote this while in Hawaii after driving around in the warm night air. I wasn't actually driving 85 (it was more like 45 :)) but it felt like 85 because I was so happy on the inside.

~Words and music by Kim Baker~

Riding 85… down this island countryside
Okay maybe, it’s just in my mind, but I feel so alive… I feel so alive
I dreamed last night that our lips finally met
And of flood of tears washed through me, as my heart finally lept

So tell me, is it just me, these visions I see?
God reaching out to break us open
Cuz life is too short to stay this broken
So bust me free, feel me stride
My arms drop down for you, right by my side
Oh baby, sweet baby… it’s time to take this ride

Flying… the summit at 10,000 feet
I can see the lava stretch down the mountain in 1763
The ocean is steaming, like a boiling pot
Just like my heart, whether you’re ready for it or not

So tell me, is it just me, these visions I see?
God reaching out to break us open
Cuz life is too short to stay this broken
So bust me free, feel me stride
My arms drop down for you, right by my side
Oh baby, sweet baby… it’s time to take this ride

Crying… I am crying, to feel this love
And I am trying, oh trying, to hear some guidance from above
So make it clear, make it near, cuz I have tired of waiting
And fill us with love in the meantime, and drown the hating

So tell me, is it just me, these visions I see?
God reaching out to break us open
Cuz life is too short to stay this broken
So bust me free, feel me stride
My arms drop down for you, right by my side
Oh baby, sweet baby… it’s time to take this ride
It’s time to take this ride
It’s time to take this ride…
