Arrows Lyrics - Lesser Oceans - Fences

My old man 

He kicked me out 

He kicked me out 

When I told him that I lived this way 

I lived this way, I lived this way 

I lived this way, I lived this way 

I lived this way, I lived this way 

I lived this way 

He doesn't own me 

He doesn't own me 

He doesn't own me 

He doesn't own me 

Just escape! 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

The black rinse align your face 

Like a deer drinking water in a picture frame 

I swear to God I've seen those eyes 

The back of my lids when closing mine 

With clasped hands we shake it out, shake it out 

Lace the boots and we walk away 

I felt slightly connected to him and said 

Now boy, now you own me 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah 

He doesn't sleep 

So in truth he never wakes up 

Another day rushing to his death 

Out of breath on the treadmill of the famous 

He makes mistakes tells stories to his paintbrush 

And when the world finally sees his art 

He wishes that he never would have made it 

Just escape, just escape 

Ricochets and eclipses faith 

Living in a city with a grey umbrella over your shoulders 

And you're becoming suffocated by the weight, can't hit those breaks 

This is what you wanted, huh 

But you got it all in vein 

'Cause you forgot who you are 

Right as the world learned your name it goes 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Let me ash my issues 

Ashtray is this asphalt 

American spirits, black coffee, conversations and a passport 

When God gives you everything 

Everything that you ever asked for 

And it still looks a bit different 

Then when you pictured it on that back porch, and I'm gone 

World traveler all I got is my songs 

When the nights start blending into one another and I don't recall 

Tom Petty in this motherfucker, all I wanna do is free fall 

Yeah free fall 

And I'm so caught up, I'm caught up 

I'm caught up and I'm so tired 

Swore that I wouldn't stare into the light and guess who tried it 

Shit I'm blinded by this lime light 

This lime light, it's all night, it's all day 

These bright lights, these bright lights 

Once you turn 'em on, you can't walk away 

Don't die here, don't die here 

I came too far, I'm too great 

But I'm too scared and I'm too afraid 

To stare this world into its face 

I'm almost home, I'm driving lost 

My eyelids closed, light turns to grey 

The cameras off, the show is over 

You close the curtains and just escape 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

Arrows land, we're fallin' 

Arrows (arrows) were fallin' 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

I live this way 

(Just escape!)
