lyrics

They always say it happens only if it's meant to be
Well I'm a tool for tuning cosmic harmony
Boy's and girls can't manage their attracting biology
Chemically cued passion fashioned faithfully

He's in the moment
She's got her hands tied
I see it crashing down
But a novice with notice
And an angel with hell ties
Surely can pull this out

But I don't think I like this now
Love relying on a spell
An arrow and her heart's strung out
This sweetness isn't sitting well
Hung up with an empty feeling
I'm leaving this behind
I don't think I like this now, no

They always say it happens only if it's meant to be
I'm the cherub dealing mortal destiny
Caught in the passion of a sudden golden sting
Love's the death of reason and you're wounded fatally

He's in the moment
She's got her hands tied
I see it crashing down
But a novice with notice
And an angel with hell ties
Surely can pull this out

But I don't think I like this now
Love relying on a spell
An arrow and her heart's strung out
This sweetness isn't sitting well
Hung up with an empty feeling
I'm leaving this behind
I don't think I like this now, no

Take a chance and do it for yourself
I'm sure you could do better than this
bright eyes burning like this rose colored mistake now
I'm sure you could do better than this
a boy and his bow feeling wounded and misplaced
sordid and two-faced
