Archers - The Ballroom Thieves

Oh I came in on bending knee

It wasn’t hard to fall for me

You stood beneath the burning tree

And hoped to rescue leaves

I figured it’s the things I’ve done

Something ‘bout the man that I’ve become

Hey look at all the hearts we’ve won

These restless little thieves

I shiver through the words I’ve said

They’re warmer than the ones that never left my head

I’ve made an ocean of this bed

And now I bet you’d starve to roll through it

Well you can let your arrows sing

I’ve never met a man of iron skin but you know

Archers never make good kings

Fly head first into everything now ooh

I settled into heart and soul

Sell the only thing that I could never own

We fell into these arms but now

We will risk our limbs to find out who we are

Well I can try to get you closer but

I know you’d break your neck just to see the stars

And if we don’t dare to hold it

Then this reckless wandering love was never ours

Archers never make good kings

Fly head first into everything now ooh

I came in on bending knee
