Bow and Arrow by Rival Boys Lyrics

A handsome boy tries to behave
And act a way beyond his age
And leave a mark so people say
What was his name? What was his name?

I can see him standing there
With crooked teeth and curly hair
A face drawn in a solemn stare
As clear as day as clear as day

A patient man casts off the frame
That holds him straight and on his legs
Propertied, and living grave
He lies awake he lies awake

And worries 'bout mistakes he's made
And if he should have played it safe
Romantic thoughts are thought too late
Thought too late, thought too late

To sleep's no use
No sweeter
Than dreams confused
By fever
When I can't sleep my mind will race
Past people standing round my bed
Through empty halls where I'm chased
I move my legs, move my legs

And hope to hear a tender word
To make me think of something good
Like happy kids locked in embrace
Lie face to face to face to face

A worried heart
Lives alone lives alone
