Several Arrows Later Lyrics

Cover art for Several Arrows Later lyrics by Matt Pond PA

Wasted potential, and the pitfalls of idolatry. Sometimes others say what you don't think you can, or they say it better than you think you can. But, you shouldn't doubt your potential and borrow from others because you lose yourself that way. And, then, the other layer: wanting to pursue someone and not going as far as you thought, so wasted potential in love, too. At the same time, the song is still hopeful and reminds to have self-confidence and keep trying, because "several arrows later" you just may arrive where you thought you'd never be.
