lyrics

We’re ripples in the water
Heading out to sea
Like snow in the winter
We’re frozen on the trees

We’ll die from our battles
No hope of reprieve
We’re stuck in our prisons
Of inevitability

Nothing ever stays the same
There’s movement in time
We’re ripples in the ocean
Trying to survive

We’re grains in a desert
Floating on the wind
But seeds of our true love
Will bring us back again

When heat gets so heavy
In this cold minty air
Your wounds will get better
From a light in despair

Cause nothing ever stays the same
There’s movement in time
We’re ripples in the ocean
Trying to survive
Just ripples in the ocean
Trying to survive
Like ripples in the ocean
We’re fighting for our lives

The ticking of this time bomb
Is scaring me
That shimmer in this darkness
Makes it hard to breathe

Love left you insignificant
In the deepest blue
It blends with the shadows
Surrounding you

But nothing ever stays the same
There’s movement in time
We’re ripples in the ocean
Trying to survive
Like ripples in the ocean
We’re fighting for our lives
Just ripples in the ocean
Trying to survive

Trying to survive
Trying to survive
Trying to survive
