lyrics

I used to get high
From the risks I threw and plans I made
And I was alright
When they started to fade

When I find myself
Walking beaches down in Mexico
I settle back
Into playing Romeo

‘Cause when I lean a little closer
I can feel the hint of her breeze
And when I feel my bones a-rattling
They fall before the joke of her tease
Oh please

A complete unknown
I sleep the afternoon away
Trapped in the sun
With no place to stay

‘Cause with another consummation
You tuck your head between your knees
And in a tender situation
You can’t expect to keep your seat
Oh please

It might be that tequila that I tried
Or the salty mist from the five o clock high tide
But sultry echoes never seem to die
No sultry echoes never seem to die

I don’t know why
I fucked over the girl I met
I can’t seem to find
A way to forget

It might be that tequila that I tried
Or the salty mist from the five o clock high tide
But sultry echoes never seem to die
No sultry echoes never seem to die

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
