The Archer Lyrics

Take the arrow from my hand and send it through the air

Cause if my heart is out of sight, it could be anywhere

You said you wanted peace of mind, that's more than I could bear

But when I gave a piece of mine, you took the lion's share

Hold me down, my head's too light to stay upon the ground

Help me stay, I'm far too tired of being swept away

Instead of roots, I got a balloon

Silver ribbon 'round my wrist, pulling me away from you

Oh, I was never one for howling at the moon

But what's a girl supposed to do? She's got so much to lose

Will you take this arrow from my hand and shoot?

Take the burden from my chest and bury it beneath

Cut the string, those scissors break, the sky tells me to leave

So we'll take cover under trees, this twisted hide and seek

Cause when you wanted peace of mind, you took a piece of me

Hold me down, my head's too light to stay upon the ground

Help me stay, I'm far too tired of being swept away

Instead of roots, I got a balloon

Silver ribbon 'round my wrist, pulling me away from you

Oh, I was never one for howling at the moon

But what's a girl supposed to do? She's got so much to lose

Oh, take this arrow from my hand and shoot it

Hold me down, my head's too light to stay upon the ground

Help me stay, I'm far too tired of being swept away

Instead of roots, I got a balloon

Silver ribbon 'round my wrist, pulling me away from you

Oh, I was never one for howling at the moon

But what's a girl supposed to do? She's got so much to lose

Will you take this arrow from my hand?

Please take this arrow from my hand

Oh, take this arrow from my hand and shoot
