Trembling Blue Stars

Ripples

Album: Broken By Whispers [2000]

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've talked myself into

Telling you, decided to

Then I see you

And just think I can't do this

 

Doubled up with longing

Three 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
