lyrics

Can you tell the time of day by the
light and the birdsong are you
ever taken back when there’s
frost on the front lawn
and it’s supposed to be spring time
a time full of new life 
and you’re still disappointing 
and it hits you late in the night

I know that face anywhere it’s the same one
 the one with eyelashes knitted into a deep frown
you make it every time that I speak from the heart
and you make it very clear that I’m missing the mark

like an arrow
 like an arrow
 missing the mark like an arrow
like an arrow straight to my heart

And it must be hard 
to see the world through
 disappointed eyes 
to build a boundary
 to protect me
 but nothing seems to work
 I’m stuck playing this disappointing game
someone else wins 
they take the trophy
 and all the glory

I know that face anywhere it’s the same one 
the one with eyelashes knitted into a deep frown
you make it every time that I speak from the heart
and you make it very clear that I’m missing the mark

like an arrow
like an arrow 
missing the mark like an arrow
like an arrow
 straight to my heart
 like an arrow

like an arrow I’m missing the mark
 and even though I try
 I just can’t hit the target
 I aim for a bullseye but every time
 it comes back around and it goes straight to my heart

like an arrow I’m missing the mark 
and even though I try
 I just can’t hit the target 
I aim for a bullseye but every time
 it comes back around and it goes straight to my heart

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust

supported by 7 fans who also own “Arrow”

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
