Well, I wish I had a parachute
Because I'm falling bad for you
And I can see the ground approaching now
Nut I'm not sure what to do
I feel like the piñata
Won't you take a swing at me
If you could just crack the shell open
I think inside you would find something sweet

And I hear you're like a hunter now
Your footsteps in the leaves
And I would glady leave my hiding place
I'm hoping to be seen
So let your arrow fly
And sing, I'm well within your aim
And lay your traps for a thousand miles
Please don't let me escape

Winter came to Omaha
And left us looking like a bride
A million perfect snowflakes now
And no two are alike
And so it's hard for me imagining
The flaws in this design
I know debris, it covers everything
But still I am in love
With this life

    General Comment:I think out of all Conor's lyrics, these are the only set that have ever made me cringe. It reads like a bad pick-up line, and somehow the whole song seems phoned in/insincere. I'm glad that you all seem to appreciate it, but I have to pass on this song.

    someone needs to change the word "NUT" to "BUT" maybe ...?

    General Comment:I find it absolutely ridiculous that the CD case says this song is called "Theme To Pinata" but the jacket sleeve says "Theme From Pinata"
    what is it, really?
    someone needs to make up their mind.

    but all in all, i think this is one of the better songs on this cd. it's simple, yet effective. it gets the point across and it makes me very happy.

    General Comment:Just to add my part on the name of the song...i have Digital Ash in a Digital Urn in front of me now. In the booklet that comes with it, second to last page it says it is called "Theme FROM Pinata". In the case, underneath where the cd goes it has the tracklisting which says "Theme TO Pinata"

    Maybe Conor couldn't make his mind up :-)

    General Comment:This song is perfect for me. It's different than most of the songs, in a sense of the feeling you get from it. Its just that i could listen to it for hours upon hours in happiness, just that type of song. Sometimes i may get caught up in the lyrics of some of their songs, but this one is easy. Its more to the point, more straight forward, which i like a lot more because of it. Not to mention, its a little different than most of his songs basically because its just like a simple love song. Rather than going political, or mocking one thing or another, its simple. One of my favorite songs, Theme to Pinata, is simply perfect.

    General Comment:I understand how everyone is saying that this song is very cliché for Conor. It's true. For a writer of his status it's very ameture. However, I believe that that only adds to the idea of the song. The song is about what it's like to fall in love, and the reality of it. In reality, most people are pretty cheesy when it comes to emotion, and I think that Conor is trying to emphasize that. We all know that Conor could write something beautiful, but sometimes something simple is all it takes to convey a specific emotion.

    General Comment:I love Bright eyes, but this song kinda sucked to me. It sounded great, but the lyrics sounded like a list of bad pickup lines, and ive kind of come to like bright eyes mostly cause of their lyrics.
