Sprinting off the dock Shallow water mud Ripple water shine Second day of our stay It was, and it's been a long time It was, but now it's not mine I took the boat out on the lake And I was okay Need to get that feeling back Once in a lifetime Ripple water shine The wind and the paddle drip And the moving on life It was, and it's been a long time It was, but now it's not mine And life moving on Setting my heart The sun's steady pressure saw the ticking stop But I was all smiles And I'm still waiting for that drink at Otto's And I'm still always slowly waiting for what follows For what I've learned about being so defined by someone dying And for thinking before I speak And hoping for something bigger But it's a size I can't teach For how things were Or how they should be Like a bolt from the blue You left me that belief Oh, you left me that belief Ripple water shine It's been a long time And it's alright Ripple water shine Now it's not mine And it's alright It's alright
