paroles de chanson Arrows - Missy Higgins

Heavy were the nights when the fire burnt low
I was moving in circles, waiting for you to show
Thinking too fast, trying to 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 pointing you to me

Steady were the wheels under every bus
Chasing a horizon, nobody ever touched
Singing into lights, questions over chords
Hearing not an answer, but the silence of applause

And every hand I tried to hold would fit there a while
'Til 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 pointing you to me
They were pointing you to me

Every door that hit my face
Every heady scent I chased
Every oil-slicked mountain road
Every blackened tear that soaked
Every twisted shouted word
Every god I 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
Pointing me to you
