Arrows Lyrics - Missy Higgins

Heavy were the nights 

When the fire burned low 

I was moving in circles 

Waiting for you to show 

Thinkin' too fast 

Tryna breathe slow 

Longing for the handle 

To turn on the door 

And every sign you passed along the way looked twisted and burnt 

With messages in languages you'd never seen or heard 

But you drove on anyway

And oh, now 

All of a sudden you're here 

And I can't 

Remember a time when you weren't 

It's true, I had to believe 

That all the signs were arrows 

Pointin' you to me 

Steady were the wheels 

Under every bus 

Chasin' a horizon 

Nobody ever touched 

Singing into lights 

Questions over chords 

Hearing not an answer 

But the silence of applause 

Photos 

And every hand I tried to hold would fit there a while 

Till one of us grew tired of pretending it felt right 

But the emptiness would burn 

It's hard to make yourself leave space 

For someone that may never emerge 

But oh, now 

All of a sudden you're here 

And I just can't 

Remember a time when you weren't 

It's true, I had to believe 

That all the signs were arrows 

Pointin' you to me 

They were pointin' you to me 

Every door that hit my face 

Every heady scent I've chased 

Every oil-slicked mountain road 

Every blackened tear that soaked 

Every twisted, shouted word 

Every god I've never heard 

Every smile he yanked from me 

Every light I could not see 

I'm thinking it's true 

That all those signs were arrows 

Pointin' me to you
