Ripples Lyrics

I want to write songs about
Two strangers starting out
It's been a long time since I fell
It's time you knew as well

I want to lose myself within
The smallest details of your life
Let them assume
An importance in mine

Sometimes it's just butterflies
Other times a hurricane
It's ripples
Ripples and driving rain

I want to be right about you
I want you to be
An angel sent to save me
I've set my heart on you
I want you to bring
The curtain down on the waiting

I've nothing to lose
I've everything to gain
And I'm not abandoning all fear
Isn't life too short for shyness?

The times I talked myself into
Telling you, decided to
Then I see you
And I just think: "I can't do this..."

I want to be right about you
I want you to be
An angel sent to save me
I've set my heart on you
I want you to bring
The curtain down on the waiting

Doubled up with longing, 3 a.m.
Anything is better than this
Even a "no" taking all hope
Even a "no" taking all hope

Sometimes it's just butterflies
Other times a hurricane
Screaming
In my head and through my veins...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
