Ripple Effect - Scott Helman, Chris Buxton

I’m just as mean as my mother

You’re just as angry as your dad

The clenched fist of a real 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 can make a new memory

One that makes your belly laugh

Don’t wanna cry for the rest of my life

Over ancient artifacts

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

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

So, 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 the rented caravan
