Arrow

I saw you shining in the summer sky
And began to want to know why
Further into the screen
It can be seen
We were short and sweet glimmering seeds
Of something so grand

And after all these years
Of being grounded
I can't even see the floor,
I'm holding on to nothing
You might as well be the bow
I'm hanging on a thread
Of impulse and I know
I'm gonna have to let go
Of who I've been

How does it feel
To be pulled like an arrow,
Back like an arrow? Oh, oh, oh, oh

To watch it unfold, watch it unfold up up up up, high

Flight is not a time to decide
The choice was made long before memory existed
Like an accident,
The way I was bent
The way I was bent

I blame it on my distraction
I never know where where I'm going
I only know the depth
Of rising and falling
A whimsical kind of tension
Swelling the water
Rising and falling

And as listened to your story go by
It's not your time to die
You had let it go, now it was yours
And so was I
Looking at the starry sky

How does it feel
To be pulled like an arrow,
Back like an arrow? Oh, oh, oh, oh

To watch it unfold, watch it unfold up up up up, high

Wondering what we really know,
To watch it unfold
Gives me vertigo
Oh I'm gonna have to let go,
Of who I've been.
