Ricochet Lyrics by Emily James

2024

[Verse 1]
He had it coming, covered up his pain with a cigarette
Got what he wanted, left without a trace, fucks with her head
She brushed it off like it's just what boys do and they don't know yet
Give it some time, he's only 25, what do you expect?
[Chorus]
Put on your lipstick
Look like indifference
He only calls when he knows you won't
Stay kindly cautious
Wait for the end
He'll bend until he breaks
Watch out for the ricochet (Mmm)
Ricochet (Mmm)
[Verse 2]
He had his eyes set on Sofia, lives just down the hall
He tried the same tricks she fell for, he thought they would never talk, but
She spilled it all 'cause that's just what girls do and they don't know yet
And now he's in somebody else's bed, what do you expect?
[Chorus]
Put on your lipstick
Look like indifference
He only calls when he knows you won't
Stay kindly cautious
Wait for the end
He'll bend until he breaks
Watch out for the ricochet (Mmm)
Ricochet (Mmm)
Ricochet (Mmm)
Ricochet (Mmm)
[Verse 3]
He had it coming, fell in love with someone that never cared
And woke up one day reaching for her hand, it wasn't there
And so it goes, he's still alone, a cold walking cliché
I dodged a bullet as I said, "Watch out for the ricochet"
