Achilles Heel Lyrics by Ella Hooper

Small Town Temple

2022

If something was gonna be my Achilles heel
Guess I'm glad it was you, I'm glad it was real
If something could only make me look up and realise
Even birds are not free from the chains of the skies
We go spinning around just like sycamore seeds
Thrown around by the wind, thrown about by the breeze
We go tumbling, spiralling all over the sky
Like two birds of prey, talons locked in a fight
Now everything I know I am gonna have to unlearn
If I wanna fly high, do I have to burn?
Oh, I'm hanging on hoping for one last ascent
When the best I should hope for is a warrior's death
I was drawn to your fire, drawn to your heat
Got caught in the updraft, you move too fast for me
Oh, a love with no ballast, a love with no weight
You can deal with the spin 'til you get blown away
Oh, silly Achilles, when will you see?
You're confusing chaos for being free
If something was gonna be my Achilles heel
Guess I'm glad it was love, I'm glad it was real
If something could only make me better able to see
How to stop love becoming the weak spot in me
