Back in My Arms
Carlie Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High on my emotions
You can make me feel brand new
This is hard to cope with
Find someone to smoke with
'Cause nothing really feels like you
All we have is on the phone
When you hang up, don't let go
Don't let go
This the kind of love they say is wrong
This what I've been waiting for so long
Feel you on my body when you're gone
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
Like back when we were lying on your floor
Hoping no one opens up the door
Feel you on my body, wanting more
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
Saw you in that red dress
Doing so much damage
Fuck me up, no, I don't mind (don't mind)
You're something that I can't forget
Like inhaling a cigarette
Hit me and it's so divine
All we have is on the phone
All we have is all I know
When you hang up, don't let go
Baby, no
This the kind of love they say is wrong
This what I've been waiting for so long
Feel you on my body when you're gone
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
Like back when we were lying on your floor (on the floor)
Hoping no one opens up the door (the door)
Feel you on my body, wanting more (and I'm wanting more)
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
When you're back in my arms (yeah, yeah, yeah)
When you're back in my arms (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you're back in my arms (yeah, yeah, yeah)
When you're back in my arms
All we have is on the phone
When you hang up, don't let go
This the kind of love they say is wrong
This what I've been waiting for so long
Feel you on my body when you're gone
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
Back when we were lying on your floor
Hoping no one opens up the door (ooh)
Feel you on my body, wanting more
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms (yeah, yeah)
This the kind of love they say is wrong
(When you're back in my arms)
This what I've been waiting for so long
(When you're back in my arms)
Feel you on my body when you're gone
(When you're back in my arms)
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms
Like back when we were lying on your floor
(When you're back in my arms)
Hoping no one opens up the door
(When you're back in my arms)
Feel you on my body, wanting more
(When you're back in my arms)
We go back to the start when you're back in my arms (arms)
In the opening lines of the song “Back in My Arms,” Carlie Hanson acknowledges that she’s not in control of her emotions, and the person she’s thinking of has a powerful effect on her. She admits she’s finding it hard to deal with this overwhelming feeling, and she’s desperately searching for someone to share her emotions with, someone who can understand what she’s going through. Clearly, this person she’s thinking of is an addiction she can’t shake off; she compares her longing for them to a smoker’s urge to inhale a cigarette. However, despite the distance between them, their conversations over the phone are all she has to hold onto, though it's not enough. She pleads with her love interest that when he hangs up, he shouldn't let go.
The chorus reaffirms the forbidden nature of this all-consuming love that's perhaps frowned upon by society. Despite that, it’s something she’s been waiting for so long; it's chaotic and out of control, but it’s precisely what she needs. When she's holding him, lying on the floor, feeling his body on hers, nothing else seems to matter. The lyrics give the impression that their relationship is one that’s often tested, but they always go back to each other, starting anew every time they’re back in each other’s arms.
