lyrics

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like an Ocean
Baby

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like the Ocean
Baby

I wanted to thank you for talking to me
I was so lonely
On an Autumn Night
On a dim lit stage
In a crowded room
I still found you

Hi hi hi hi hi my name is Loud Girl
I hear you're shy guy
and I don't know why
I feel like I've been searching for you my whole life

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like an Ocean
Baby

You are a light shining through the night
and we are an Island
Let the waves crash upon our shores

(Okay kids, it's time to learn how to swim. I'm gonna give you some directions and if you can follow them, then you should be good to go!)

Ya gotta raise your hips turn your head to the side
ya gotta move those arms if you're gonna stay alive
kick kick kick like one two three four
and repeat that process til you make it to shore

I really hope you feel the same
if you don't I'll feel kinda lame
I don't normally wear my heart on my sleeve
So if you feel the same for me...

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like an Ocean
Baby

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like the Ocean
Baby

Sweep me like a riptide
Surround me like the Ocean
Baby

I'm Only Looking EP
by Crash City Saints

This band has a crazy story to tell and a wall of sound that evokes such passion that your head may explode. If you like pedal driven shoegaze / dream-pop, this band is perfect for you. Katy Needs A Life

RFUP/Boring People
by Boring People

One of my favorite bands from the Kalamazoo local scene. Heavily influenced by bands like Weezer and Pavement, they bring an amazing edge to the genre of music I grew up listening to. Katy Needs A Life

Nine

Everything is wonderful about this music / musician. You'll never feel so happy as you do when listening to Jes Kramer from Grand Rapids. Katy Needs A Life
