Ride in the unknown lyrics - Nada Surf song

I was away, I don't know where, it was a daily state
I drew a map, but it expired
I'd find a car with open doors and take a ride
I took a nap, there was no driver
I'd find a thing that I could take that would do the trick
After a while, I got no higher

Ride in the unknown
Survive and never grow
Sliding alone
Why is never known

There is no getting away in a haunted house
When every window is a mirror
Can't recognize the people who I used to be
Alone at night in my private theater
But we all play a little bit with mythology
I don't know if it makes things clearer

Hiding from myself
Alone, no one to tell
Pay rent to have this shell
Pay rent to have this cell

In a blue moon, I
Could sing the blues to sleep
While they were out
I'd have a good week

Ride in the unknown
Survive and never grow
Sliding alone
Why is never known

I never knew
I never knew who I wanted to be
I never knew
I never knew who I wanted to be

The good and the bad news will still be there
But don't think about that now
Lift your anchor and set your sail
Now the lights are all turned out
Find your peace and find some sleep
I'll be your lookout
When it's my turn, you'll be that for me
And you'll quiet all my doubt

Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)
Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)
Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail)
Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)

Ride in the unknown (Find your peace and find some sleep)
Survive and never grow (I'll be your lookout)
Sliding alone (When it's my turn, you'll be that for me)
Why is never known (And you'll quiet all my doubt)

Ride in the unknown (The good and the bad news will still be there)
Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)
Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail)
Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
