about

I've always had a lot of energy and I like to move fast so when I was a kid my dad used to tell me to idle down when I got too impatient. As an adult, I still have the tendency to move fast especially in romantic relationships. This song is an ode to the delicious idea of just enjoying the ride.

lyrics

Rev it up, let it rip
turn up the radio
roadblocks left behind
I'm gonna let love flow

Maybe I accelerate
just a bit too fast
gonna tap the breaks, ease it up
'cause I want this ride to last

I'm going to idle down, slow my roll
but baby you know this engine wants to go
I'm going to idle down, slow my roll
but baby you know this engine wants to go

Don't care which road we take
nowhere to get to
don't care what's up ahead
as long as I'm with you

What a trip, feel alive
runnin' down those blues
detours don't bother me
I'll just enjoy the view

I'm going to idle down, slow my roll
but baby you know this engine wants to go
I'm going to idle down, don't go too fast
'cause baby I want this ride to last

Cruise is on, rain is gone
clouds in the rearview mirror
windows down, stars around
we got heaven right here

I'm going to idle down, slow my roll
but baby you know this engine wants to go
I'm going to idle down, slow my roll
but baby you know this engine wants to go
