If I Could Ride a Bike

the song u hear on disney scenes where both of the lovely characters genuinely show their love to each other

This songs makes me feel like I'm at some kind of cafe in Paris im happy

I’m 16 years old, almost 17, and I can’t ride a bike.

Ah.... My disabled ass may have cried a little. Don't mind me.
Really brings over that feeling of sadness over the things you cannot do, but not allowing yourself to show or truly feel that sadness because.. well.. you can't change it. So you just smile and imagine what it would be like if you could. Melancholy.

I relate to this song on a personal level since I too cannot ride a bike.

People be saying this song reminds them of Steven Universe while I'm over here thinking of Ratatouille

I still love this song with all my heart💓

so like, I have three interpretations from this song.

1. She really can't ride a bike

2. Boyfriend doesn't exist

3. boyfriend is with someone else

Did I make myself sad for some reason? Yes, yes I did

The last part of this song, after the pause, the melody sounds melancholic, sad, bittersweet.
It sounds as though there is a wish, a longing, for what things could be, but simultaneously acceptance for how things are right now, today, within the present.

Makes me think of a long distance relationship between nevermets.

They fall in love through the distance separating them, and remain together, overcoming all obstacles.
There is one however within their relationship, that continues to trouble them time and time again.
Together with understanding, unconditional love, respect for the other, they manage to bring their relationship to a rather harmonious flow for what seems to last. Perhaps what she hopes, wishes, makes herself believe would last.

It comes back again.

This time it is too much. She cannot take it anymore as it brings her too much pain. He feels happy within the relationship and doesn’t realize. She tells him. This brings him pain as he is faced with knowing she wasn’t happy.
They both tried. They both wished to remain together. To grow old together.
This could not be changed.

She moves on from her side and goes on living the moments she wishes to experience.
He moves on from his side and goes on to make the best of what he can in his life.

They plan to meet. For closure.
She books her flight and makes her travel beyond a whole sea, to where he lives.

When she sees him waiting for her at the gates of the airport, her tears stream down her cheeks, she cannot hold back.
She runs up to him and they embrace one another for the very first time in their lives in a loving, relieved, grieving, tearful, intimate embrace.

They live this week together as though they have remained together all these months, and these years, never parted.
It feels as natural to them when they catch the glimpse of the other’s eyes as if they had truly never known distance, nor a lifetime unaware of the other’s existence.

They go to softly sunlit parks and she pushes him on a swing, feeling so peaceful. This is the moment she wishes to be in for the rest of her life.

He takes her on a bike through his village in the night, the both of them laughing in joy and excitement as they ride down a hill.
She touches him and holds onto his body and he smiles to himself, this touch forever cherished.

She makes love to him as if it were her first experience. So intimate, so delicate, so full of passion and sensuality. He touches her as though she is the most fragile and precious being.

The sun sets.

They had wanted to meet, experience life with one another if even for the briefest of times.
Now they have.

They have closure.

She returns back home by plane again after having spent a last night with him.
He returns to his home to his family.

Time heals all wounds of the heart.
They each go on about their own, separate lives.
Longing of what could’ve been, but accepting what is.
Knowing this had been the best that could’ve been.
Their first and last encounter forever treasured in some corner of their hearts.
Even when they go on meeting and building happier relationships with other partners, they hold dear all the ways in which their first love has helped them grow with love.

Everyone is talking about Steven Universe and I’m here thinking that it sounds like a song that would have been in the UP movie soundtrack

this is like steven universe's escapism meets ratatouille's le festin

I believe this songs about the girl believing that if she was different, then she would be able to get the guy. The bike and the boat represent things that she is not and what she believes the guy would like her for. She is of course, not these things, and believe that that is why the guy doesn’t like him. She loves him a lot and would do many things for him, however isn’t confident in herself, and is left imagining. If you want something, then be confident, and maybe you’ll get it. You never know unless you try.

i used to bike with my crush all over different neighborhoods, we would bike as early as 4 am and as late as 11pm. Good times.

Gives me Ghibli vibes and also has the same melody as Steven Universe’s “Escapism” and I love it

Everyone’s saying that this should get more attention but tbh I’d rather it just stay a secret forever, occasionally showing up to people when times are tough

I'm thinking about myself in a parallel universe where I didn't clicked this accidentally.

i love how the song starts so hopeful and happy, but then it turns sad and melancholic, letting us know that the singer is just imagining everything

I don't know why this was recommended to me, but i don't regret clicking it.
This song reminds me of ratatouille and up. It's very calming song ^^

does a 5 mile bike ride, sweating, heavy breathing, and heatstroke

yeah man.. huff wheeze that was romantic af

this song made me feel heartbroken in the sweetest way

I lost my cat yesterday, and the last part of the song has me sobbing. I miss my Nina dearly, I’d do anything to get her back, but I can’t reverse death, so I’m left dreaming about her. This song does remind me of the good times that I had with Nina, so there’s that too. Thank you Chevy and Park Bird for this beautiful song.
