When the song was released, Blake mentioned: “‘In Your Arms’ is about a girl I really liked, but every time we were in the same city there was a different reason why we couldn’t see each other. I wrote it after realizing it was probably never going to work out. This song is about wanting to pour all...
[Verse 1]
All I wanna do is lose myself in you
Like in a book on a subway train when you miss your stop by two
Like kicking stones in the winter morning dew
Oh my, oh my, what I would do
[Verse 2]
Head heavy, I wonder through the night
My thoughts are like veins of electricity that spread when lightning strikes
I fell apart when I finally realised
That we've got clocks we could never time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to LA
Wish I could've stayеd in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickеts and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated
But when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead
[Verse 3]
Eros, oh, a fool, you played me black and blue
Like this old Gulbransen in my parents' living room
I tried to show her it could be beautiful
Before she gets eyes for somebody new
[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to LA
Wish I could've stayed in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickets and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated
But when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead
(Instead)
Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to LA
Wish I could've stayed in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickets and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated
But when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead
[Outro]
So when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead
