lyrics

Ripples always reappear
The signals lost in the air
And though you may have passed the test
Would you really say you’ve tried your best
A step back is a step forgotten

I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones

Happy to see you doing well
The winds caught fast in your sail
But a stones throw just won’t make the mark
Can’t lay low and feed the spark
When waters calm its discontented

I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones

Things set in motion cannot be stopped
You know I can’t just stop and take it away
A fire stoked met with raindrops
I just want to make my way to the top

I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones

Yeah, I'm skipping stones
Yeah, I'm skipping stones
I'm skipping stones and nothing's changing
I'm skipping stones
