Bullseye

Album: Forever Is A Feeling (2025)

  • Heard you got a job as a mailman
    I heard you're playin' around in a couple of bands
    Wish I could come to the show, but I understand
    Can't just walk in like any other fan

    But I always loved the way you played guitar
    You've got style, no one's doin' it like you are

    In many European cities, there's a bridge
    Where lovers put locks on the rails
    And throw their keys into the river beneath
    We were two such suckers

    But the metal weighs down the bearings and the city has to cut the bolts
    If our spell wore off, maybe it's all their fault

    You're a bullseye, and I aimed right
    I'm a straight shot, you're a grand prize
    It was young love, it was dumb luck
    Holdin' each other so tight, we got stuck

    I'll miss borrowin' your books to read your notes in the margin
    The closest I came to readin' your mind
    The answers to the questions only made more questions
    I hope you're never fully satisfied

    But I wanted to be there the day you figured it all out
    Whoever is, I hope they're proud

    You're a bullseye, and I aimed right
    I'm a straight shot, you're a grand prize
    It was young love, it was dumb luck
    Holdin' each other so tight, we got stuck

    Found some of your stuff at my new house
    Packed it on accident when I was movin' out
    Probably wrong to think of them as your gifts to me
    More like victims of my sentimentality
    Man, it's hard to quit while you're ahead
    Lettin' the best-laid plans become empty threats
    But I meant every word I said, when I said it

    The world that we built meant the world to me
    When one world ends, the other worlds keep spinning Writer/s: Lucy Dacus
