Bullseye - Heather Maloney

I was an arrow and you were a bow

Baby we took a chance to see how far we’d go

I had my eye on the farthest horizon

The pull and the tension only made us fly on the back of the wind

We fell in love on a whim, but tell me where did we end up?

And I’m scrolling through the moments

Trying to find it, where’d we hide it?

There’s a target underneath this mess we made

Oh, it’s a long shot

But I’m taking, I’m taking, I’m taking aim at your heart

I found a photo of you staring into the blue

The Carolina sky, the Appalachian view

You looked into the void

You said «What is the point?

There are no guarantees, it’s just the toss of a coin.»

I said, «The best things maybe, are pointless baby

Like songs or dancing.»

And I’m scrolling through the moments

Trying to find it, where’d we hide it?

There’s a target underneath this mess we made

Oh, it’s a long shot

But I’m taking, I’m taking, I’m taking aim

Oh, it’s a long shot

But I’m taking, I’m taking, I’m taking aim at your heart

Oh, I heard a story

A master of archery

Giving a lesson at the edge of the shore

He pulled back his bow to it’s fullest arc

And with total focus in his mind and heart

He let the arrow free into the middle of the sea

And then he said «bullseye!»

Oh, it’s a long shot

But I’m taking, I’m taking, I’m taking aim

Oh, it’s a long shot

But I’m taking, I’m taking, I’m taking aim at your heart
