Lyrics

[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) [Chorus] We are talking, we are driving And in this moment we are denying What it costs, what it takes For one perfect world When we look the other way [Post-Chorus] It's one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) When we look the other way It's one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) When we look the other way It's one (Perfect world) perfect world (Yeah) [Verse 4] If you can't see beyond the myth of isolation And the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore Connect the points and see the constellations As the night comes down on the reservoir [Chorus] We are swimming, we are floating And in this moment we are beholden To what it costs, to what it takes For one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? [Post-Chorus] It's one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) Can we learn to live another way? It's one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) Can we learn to live another way? It's one (Perfect world) perfect world It's one perfect world [Outro] We get to be a ripple in the water
