In My Arms
Avicii & Mike Posner Lyrics

Bam bam bam bam, bam bam bam bam bam
Repeating sounds, representing a sense of rhythm and energy.

I was sixteen with a rocket
At a young age, feeling full of potential and ambition.

And some sunshine in my pocket
Carrying happiness and positivity within me.

It was how you used words I didn't know
The way you communicated with vocabulary I wasn't familiar with, making you intriguing.

And the way you said my name
The way you pronounced my name, showing intimacy and closeness.

And cut up peaches and them brown eyes
Symbolizing sweetness and attractiveness through actions and physical features.

Little flame that we pretend doesn't glow
A hidden passion and desire that we pretend isn't present or significant.

You know space and time wouldn't let you be mine
Acknowledging that external factors like distance and time prevent us from being together.

What I've come to understand
Realizing and comprehending a certain truth.

Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
The chaos and disorder of life doesn't permit us to be together.

I'm right back where I began
Finding myself in the same situation or emotional state as before.

In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Seeking comfort and embracing someone new while pretending it's a genuine emotional connection.

Holding her closely, remember your touch
Physically being close to someone else while recalling the sensation of your touch.

And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
Being emotionally controlled by you, even though I am emotionally overwhelmed.

Ah ooh, ooh ooh
Vocal sounds expressing emotion and desire.

There were times I think about us
Reflecting on past moments and memories of our relationship.

Overcome by the nostalgias
Feeling overwhelmed and emotional due to the intense nostalgic feelings.

I am on call when you need me, let me know
Being available and ready to help or support you whenever you require it.

But we're drifting in a strange way
Moving apart or losing touch with each other in an unusual or unexpected manner.

I'm aware that it's a mistake if I love you
Understanding that it might be a wrong decision to continue loving you.

It's a mistake if I don't
Recognizing that not loving you would also be a mistake or regret.

And she smelled like Michigan
The scent of her reminded me of a specific place, evoking memories and emotions.

And it felt like lust
Experiencing strong sexual desire and attraction.

And the nostalgia's killing me
Feeling intense emotional pain and longing due to the nostalgia.

And it's all because
And it's all happening for this specific reason or cause.

I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Being physically embraced by someone unfamiliar while pretending it's a deep emotional connection.

Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch
Holding her tightly, recalling the sensation and memory of your touch.

And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
Being emotionally controlled by you, even though I am emotionally overwhelmed.

In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Seeking solace and affection from someone new while pretending it's a genuine emotional bond.

Woo
An expression of excitement or enjoyment.
