[Verse 1]
We get to be a ripple in the water
We get to be a rock that’s thrown
We get to be a boy on the bridge
Standing over the reservoir
[Verse 2]
I see the water lap along the shoreline
The buried forest of a man-made lake
The cemeteries are laying underneath it
Your heart like a dam when it breaks
[Chorus]
We are floating, we are swimming
And in this moment we are forgetting
What it costs, what it takes
For one perfect world
When we look the other way
[Verse 3]
I’m okay if I don’t look a little closer
(I am driving with the tank full)
I’m okay if I don’t see beyond the shore
(The sun is blistering the black top road)
I’m okay if I don’t have to do the killing
(We are talking, cellular and mobile)
Or know what the killing is for
(As if it’s some kind of cure for this world of woe)
We get to be a ripple in the water

The cemeteries are laying underneath it
