[Verse 1] I ain't never been the kind To wear my heart out on my sleeve Got a thousand ways to run When somebody gets too close to me Built these walls from broken nights Stacked 'em high as they could go But you looked me in the eyes And said, Baby, you don't fool me, no [Pre-Chorus] You call my bluff when I get wild Stand your ground and make me smile When I'm all thunder, all smoke, all fight You pull me back into the light [Chorus] You're the match in the dark You're the hand on my heart When I'm lost in my own storm You know exactly where you are And if this whole world falls apart You're still riding shotgun in my car Baby, through the fire, through the rain You love me anyway Yeah, you're my ride or die Till the last sunrise [Verse 2] I'm stubborn as an old dirt road Hard-headed as they come But you know every crack and scar And still call me your one You laugh when I get all worked up Pull me close and calm me down Saying, Baby, quit carrying ghosts Ain't no need for 'em now [Pre-Chorus] You see the truth behind my pride Every place I try to hide And every time I start to break You're the reason that I stay [Chorus] You're the match in the dark You're the hand on my heart When I'm lost in my own storm You know exactly where you are And if this whole world falls apart You're still riding shotgun in my car Baby, through the fire, through the rain You love me anyway Yeah, you're my ride or die Till the last sunrise [Bridge] So if I never find the words That say exactly what I mean Just know you're everything I prayed for Everything I need When the dust settles down And the years roll by I still want your name On these lips tonight [Final Chorus] You're the match in the dark You're the hand on my heart You're the peace that I found After falling apart And if this whole world falls apart You're still riding shotgun in my car Baby, through the fire, through the rain You'll always be my place Yeah, you're my ride or die My forever, my whole life [Outro] You see through all my armor And you stay right here beside me That's why you're my ride or die
