lyrics

Sit with me a second dear, I've been all over the map
My shrugs're heavy and my sighs are clear of a kind that cleans the trap
But ain't you ever kicked a can before, don't you know it gets you down?
I gotta try to think of something else
I gotta stay in sound

But it's getting cold and
Right on my tail
I've got a North Dakotan, softly-spoken treasure trail
It don't get much older
It's got silver hair
I can't be scolding, growing mold behind my veil

Take a swim in a summer wind
Just as calm as singing free
And from a hammock comes a message sent as it falls into a dream
And when it goes it leaves a center stone
Like a bite in the breeze

But it may be broken
Cut from its knee
No I’m never joking, told to rope it 'til it bleeds

Long as I find something that's mine in this mystery
Long as Ii see some change of season as well
I don’t know why I would try to be keeping it discreet
Caught up inside of a well
Cramping with no one to tell

Slow down, you've got nothing
No crown, no one home
I've found, if you’re patient
Growing mold's the way to go

The Ripples Washington, D.C.

Founded in 2013, The Ripples are a post-modern band that takes influence from 60s pop music, but doesn’t shy away from dipping their feet in the blues. They love playing covers and jams to excite a bar crowd and generate a great late-night pulse, but their main passion is working with their original music until all the grooves and changes sound just right. ... more
