[Verse 1]
No, it's not just one thing
I'm finding that it never is
And I can't feel the seasons
It's got me losing track of why I'm here
That one more time that I almost try to leave
But something strong keeps holding on to me
[Chorus]
In California
It's nothing like I hoped
And we're going broke
California
It's got me on the ropes
But I still got hope
It's got me on the ropes
[Verse 2]
No, it's not just one thing
I'm trying, but it never gives
When it's tough, I've been tougher
Than I ever thought I could have been
Just one more time that I had to knuckle down
[Chorus]
In California
It's nothing like I hoped
And we're going broke
In California
It's got me on the ropes
But I still got hope
[Post-Chorus]
It's got me on the ropes, yeah
It's got me on the ropes, uh
[Chorus]
California
It's nothing like I hoped
And we're going broke
In California
Well, it's got me on the ropes
But I still got hope
For California
It's got me on the ropes (California, yeah)
There, California
It's got me on the ropes (California, yeah)

We wrote ‘On The Ropes’ for Kesha back in 2019. I don’t know if she ever heard our original demo, but I think its safe to say (judging by the fact that she hasn’t recorded or released it in the past 4 years) that she didn’t fancy it. It’s the most inaccurate description of our lives and experiences...
