Mari Dangerfield - Arrow Lyrics

I'm watching a movie
Where she plays the part
I skip to the ending
Where he steals her heart
A Hollywood romance
So far from the truth
Yet I still believe it
And follow the rules
I could play my own Cupid
But I don't have a clue
My target the distant
Unattainable you
So I sit here hoping
You're reading my mind
The part screaming loudly
That you could be mine

I'm trying to break out
To cure this heartache now
Can't face old and lonely
But boldness could kill me

Oh I could shoot an arrow in your very direction
Hoping that you'll notice how I seek your affection
Though it's hardly the best of ways to get your attention
I don't know what else I could do oooooh
And so I'm stuck as the witness to my own sweet downfall
All because I couldn't do the talking big or small
Wond'ring 'bout the next time I'll be getting a shot

So I won't say a word
Hoping something could change
But it takes more than staring
To get you in range
Yet one conversation
Seems oh-so-much worse
Than anything else in the whole
Universe

But I could shoot an arrow in your very direction
Hoping that you'll notice how I seek your affection
Though it's hardly the best of ways to get your attention
I don't know what else I could do oooooh
And so I'm stuck as the witness to my own sweet downfall
All because I couldn't do the talking big or small
Wond'ring 'bout the next time I'll be getting a shot
If I'll even get one at all
If I'll even get one at all

Cause I'm so shy and self-critical
Finding love makes me cynical
I'm the last one you'd see in the room
I know it's not all that subtle
But I'd rather not struggle
To tell you straight up how I'm feeling
It's too risky
I'm bringing my A-game
Though not in the same way
That most other people do
But at least if it falls apart
I won't have a shattered heart
I'll just pretend it wasn't aimed at you

Oh I could shoot an arrow in your very direction
Hoping that you'll notice how I seek your affection
I could never lose
Though it's hardly the best of ways to get your attention
I don't know what else I could do oooooh
And so I'm stuck as the witness to my own sweet downfall
This could be my final Shot
All because I couldn't do the talking big or small
Wond'ring 'bout the next time I'll be getting a shot
So I'll give it all I've got
If I'll even get one at all
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
