lyrics

I am an arrow balancing on string, waiting to fly
Trembling beneath the strain
Barely holding steady as I shoot into the air
I know gravity won’t care, where it is I land

I don’t care about the fall
When I’m flying high above it all
I don’t think about the ground
the bruises and the breaks
The way my heart will sink
The way my back will ache
When I come down
When I come down

I made god laugh I made god cry
With all my little plans
Chasing happiness like I can wink and make it mine
After a little too much wine
No more solid than the air
I know gravity won’t care, where it is I land

I don’t care about the fall
When I’m flying high above it all
I don’t think about the ground
The bruises and the breaks
The way my heart will sink
The way my back will ache
When I come down
When I come down

I try to hold time in my hand
Even though I understand
It is impossible to do.
It keeps on rushing by, rushing by

I don’t care about the fall
When I’m flying high above it all
I don’t think about the ground
The bruises and the breaks
The way my heart will sink
The way my back will ache
When I come down
When I come down

When I come down
When I come down
When I come down
When I come down
