Drip Drop Teardrop
The Cardigans · Super Extra Gravity [2005]
I'm gonna sing until you hate this song
I'm gonna tell you in my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you 'cause you have no choice
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop, oh no
I'm gonna take you to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts that you have lost
It's gonna cost you, but you might hurt less
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever learn?
I'm gonna work till we get it on
I'm gonna love you till we get along
And when your ears and your eyes are sore
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever
Will we ever
Will we ever learn?
Drip Drop Teardrop
Drip Drop Teardrop stands as a notable track from The Cardigans' 2005 album, Super Extra Gravity. Emerging during a period where the Swedish band explored more experimental and electronic textures, the song reflects their continued evolution beyond the alternative rock foundations established in the 1990s. The recording showcases the group's signature blend of melodic sensibility and atmospheric production, maintaining the emotional depth characteristic of their broader discography. While the album marked a shift in their sound, this track remains a compelling example of their ability to craft introspective pop-rock anthems. It contributes to a diverse body of work that has cemented their status as enduring figures in the genre, offering listeners a distinct sonic experience that balances melancholy with rhythmic drive.
