“Ripples” is a folk-inspired song about finding yourself again after being away from people you love. After the success of Fake It Flowers, Bea went on tour alone, away from her friends and former boyfriend Soren. During this time of isolation, Bea took time time to reflect on herself and her relati...
[Verse 1]
Please don't make me hide, I've been putting up a fight
What's the use of it now? When I get pulled down anyways
I've been hiding my expression, you can't blame the reflections
And the ripples on the ground, I might as well have drowned
[Chorus]
So I'm keeping busy, work twice as hard as you
Want you to believe me that I can pick and choose
Said you'd let me drive your car as long as I'm with you
Then you'd wait till we get far to tell me that you'll be gone soon
[Verse 2]
Feels too late right now, I've been holding back

I feel alone again, stuck between my friеnds
I guess I'll figure my way through them, not sure how I do it
But I'm sure now, the people would listen as the water glistens
And I see my reflection, so much clearer
[Chorus]
So I'm keeping busy, work twice as hard as you
Want you to believe me that I can pick and choose
Said you'd let me drive your car as long as I'm with you
Then you'd wait till we get far to tell me that you'll be gone soon

And I realised I just wanted to make a good songwriter’s song—a classic song. This is such a personal song: It’s ab...
