Arrow Through My Party

[Verse 1]
Lantern light on the table
Character sheets spread wide
You lean back in that old wood chair
Dice clutched in your hand
Sly smile in your eyes
I see you slip through the shadows
Pocketing gold so fast
I say
“I’m watching you
Trouble”
You just laugh and dash
[Chorus]
But I keep shooting the rogue I love
Can’t let you run from my heart
Every arrow’s just a postcard
Baby
Finding you out in the dark
Yeah I keep shooting the rogue I love
You fall
Then you wink and grin
“Stabilize me
Darlin’
” you say
And that’s how our nights begin
[Verse 2]
Dungeon walls and your bad ideas
You’re flirting with every trap
You steal the crown and the cursed old ring
Then hide behind me when the dragon snaps (oh yeah)
You say
“Cover me
Handsome”
Then dash ahead again
I loose one shot in your direction
Just to pull you back in
[Chorus]
I keep shooting the rogue I love
Can’t let you run from my side
Every arrow’s like a promise
Baby
Pinning you here tonight
Yeah I keep shooting the rogue I love
You fall
Then you play along
“Guess you’ll have to carry me home”
While the party hums our song
[Bridge]
Around this crowded table
We’re heroes made of ink
But under all this laughter
I’m closer than you think
You say
“Why you always hit me?”
I shrug and meet your gaze
“It’s the only way I know
My dear
To make you stay”
[Chorus]
So I keep shooting the rogue I love
You’re the risk I wanna take
Every arrow through your hit points
Darling
Marks another memory we make
Yeah I keep shooting the rogue I love
Till the candles all burn low
When the game is done
You take my hand
And say
“Aim for my heart
Not the bow”
