Arrows - Fireworks

On occasion, my mouth still bleeds

From when I cut it when I was young

Give me, give me one more chance

To make my old friends laugh

To be just a footnote in their paragraph

Saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So they grew their nails out

They were just trying to scratch my itch

If I started over, I’d do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I’ll shoot it down

I’ll shoot it down

With arrows

Because I spend all of my time

Trying to find what I need

What I was biting the hand that fed me

It saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So it grew its nails

It was just trying to scratch my itch

If I started over, I’d do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I’ll shoot it down

I’ll shoot it down

With arrows

So I stopped running, started walking instead

It was all in my head

Nothing’s against me

This war was more civil, I realized

I had to, secede from both sides

I left myself with no ride home

But it’s the last night of summer

And I don’t mind walking alone

Remember when we ran naked

In the field behind your house

If I started over, I’d do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I’ll shoot it down

I’ll shoot it down

With arrows
