Perfect World - Lyrics - Indigo Girls

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 I see the water lap along the shoreline The buried forest of a man-made lake Cemeteries are laying underneath it Your heart like a damm when it breaks. We are floating, we are swimming And in this moment we are forgetting What we costs, what it takes For one perfect world when we look the other way I’m okay if I don’t look a little closer I am driving with the tank full I’m okay I if don’t see beyond the shore The sun is blistering the black top road I’m okay 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 come kind of cure for this world of woe 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 It’s one perfect world when we look the other way It’s one perfect world 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 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? It’s one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It’s one perfect world
