lyrics

Chorus: The Archer draws his bow, the arrow fires true,
Tearing at the flesh in my chest
There are too many hearts and too many lives,
But thank God, I’ve found yours in mine.

Woah

I fell in love with a cannibal once,
In an empty school bus parking lot,
There was the yellow of the sun dancing in her hair,
And the lights of her brown eyes’ stare.
Her fingertips cut like pendulums swing,
And the curve of her body made my heart sing,
I fell in love with that cannibal then.
I’d do it all over again.

So I said my hellos with a smile (I suppose),
Framed in roses and poetry prose,
Then I offered my hand like a sacrifice,
And dang! She took a bite!

I said I was sorry, but the tears came too fast,
I yelled and now she’ll (probably) never love me back.
There were too many stares, and too many sighs,
I pray to God maybe she’ll find her heart in mine.
