The Arrow

Here it comes again, like I'm spitting in the wind
Some things you can change; some you can't
I am not like you - oh, the things I want to do
Are the very things that are slipping through my hands

And I've been wrong, I've been right
I've been where we are tonight
And I thought that you were teaching me something
I've been right, I've been wrong
I've been writing you a new song
But it sounds just like the one I've been running away from

Run your hand across my skin, feel the lump between my ribs
I'm still carrying an arrow from the war
Pull it out or push it in or break it off and keep marching
But sometimes everything just grows around it

And I've been wrong, I've been right
I've been where we are tonight
And I thought that you were taking me somewhere
I've been right, I've been wrong
I've been writing you a new song
But it sounds just like the one I've been running away from

What would I look like without this thing inside me
What would it be like to walk and stand up rightly
What would it feel like
I know that I could climb up on that table
But I don't think I'm able

'Cause I've been wrong, I've been right I've been where we are tonight
And I don't know where that knife is gonna' take me
I've been right, I've been wrong
I've been writing you a new song
