Arrows
Emily Rowed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take anything you need
I'll be alright with the rest of the light
I think I can build it inside
I'll be tossing arrows up from now on
Going where the wind blows while I'm still young
'Cause I got nothing to lose, nothing to lose but time
The ground and and my feet, they are all I ever needed
Running for, running for my freedom
I am going because I'm in love with wanderlust
Man, I don't need, I don't need a reason
I found freedom here
Freedom to go anywhere
You can take it from me if you like
I think I can build it inside
I'll be tossing arrows up from now on
Going where the wind blows while I'm still young
'Cause I got nothing to lose, nothing to lose but time
I got nothing to lose, nothing to lose but time
The ground and my feet, they are all I ever needed
Running for, running for my freedom
I am going because I'm in love with wanderlust
Man, I don't need, I don't need a reason
And it's not that I'm just running
It's the feeling that I know
Knowing I can let it go now
'Cause I got nothing to lose nothing to lose but time
The ground and and my feet they are all I ever needed
Running for, running for my freedom
I am going because I'm in love with wanderlust man,
I don't need, I don't need a reason
The ground and and my feet they are all I ever needed
Running for, running for my freedom
I am going because I'm in love with wanderlust man,
I don't need, I don't need a reason
