Ricochet could be about a breakup where the singer is trying to still talk to the girl, but every time he tries they just bounce back and she can’t hear him.
[Verse 1]
And we were bold
Over the world
We were flying through the satellites
We had ahold
Of the lightning strikes
When we should have been afraid of heights
And I was trying just to get you
And now I'm dying to forget you
'Cause I knew I couldn't catch you
So I left the sky
And I fell behind
[Chorus]
We were one and the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet (Ricochet)
We were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
[Verse 2]
If I was whole
I'd turn right now
I'd forget it and just walk away
'Cause I've been told
That I'm dragging it out
But I've been dying just to see your face
And all I wanted was to say goodbye
Into the fortress that you're stuck behind
And in the silence now I realize
That after all
I built the wall
[Chorus]
We were one and the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet (Ricochet)
You were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
[Bridge]
All these broken souls
They never make me whole
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
All these broken souls
Each one more beautiful
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
I'll send out my soul
To worlds more beautiful
They won't, they won't know my heart
It's the darkest part
[Chorus]
We were one and the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet (Ricochet)
You were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
