Ripple Effect

(album: Hôtel De Ville - 2017)

I'm just as mean as my mother, you're just as angry as your dad
The clenched fist of a really long list of the things we never had
This is not really about you, and it's not really about me
We're just drowning in the ripple effect of our parents history

So, please can we try something new
'Cause I wanna heal all the wounds
It seems like the least I can do
For you

I wanna' take you in a caravan
To the edge of the ocean
Where the trees make a canopy
And the moonlight is golden
We could make this a beautiful life
Come on let me show you
In a rented caravan

Not a lot of people make it
And they're lucky if they do
It's a shot in the darkness
But I'll take it for you

Maybe we could make a new memory
One that makes your belly laugh
Don't want to cry for the rest of my life,
If we're faking artifacts.

Please can we try something new
'Cause I wanna heal all the wounds
It seems like the least I can do
For you

I wanna' take you in a caravan
To the edge of the ocean
Where the trees make a canopy
And the moonlight is golden
We could make this a beautiful life
Come on let me show you
In a rented caravan

We can dive in the water and we won't forget
But we can play in the waves of the ripple effect
We can dive in the water and we won't forget
But we can play in the waves of the ripple effect

Please can we try something new
Just let me do something good
For you

I wanna' take you in a caravan
To the edge of the ocean
Where the trees make a canopy
And the moonlight is golden
We could make this a beautiful life
Come on let me show you
In a rented caravan
