Died in your Arms
Alex M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feelin' like this?
On the surface, I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss




I should've walked away
I should've walked away

I am struggling to find a way to escape my current emotional state


Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
I see a diary belonging to the person I was intimate with


The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
The room is dark and quiet, and there is a sense of sadness or loneliness

I never imagined I would be in such an emotionally intense situation

It was a long hot night
The physical intimacy lasted a while and was passionate


She made it easy, she made it feel right
The other person initiated and led the encounter, making it seem effortless and enjoyable


But now it's over, the moment has gone
The intimacy is over and I am left with only my emotions


I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
I made a mistake by acting impulsively instead of rationally


I should've walked away
I regret not leaving the situation before becoming emotionally invested


I should've walked away
I regret not leaving the situation before becoming emotionally invested
