Earl Perkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That old storm brewing in this heart of mine
Someday crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
While your heart keeps sayin' your not mine not mine
Not mine not mine my troubled minds grows blue
Now take all those precious dreams I had for you dear
And take all that love I thought was mine
Some day your crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I 'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying your not mine
Not mine not mine not mine my troubled mind goes blue
To another you'll be wed but now I'm so lonely all the time
In Earl Perkins's song Crazy Arms, the lyrics depict the pain and loneliness that comes with a broken heart. The singer is so heartbroken and upset that he can't find the right words to express his feelings. He starts by saying that the color blue doesn't even come close to describing how he feels. He says that there is a storm brewing in his heart that he just can't shake off. He wishes for the day when he'll find someone new to hold in his crazy arms, but for now, he is just lonely and sad all the time.
The chorus talks about how his crazy arms need to hold somebody new, but his heart keeps saying that she is not his. He knows that someday she'll find someone new and be happy, but right now, he is consumed with his misery. He talks about how his troubled mind goes blue, which means that he is drowning in his own sorrow. He then tells her to take all the precious dreams and love that he had for her and give it to somebody else, and maybe one day her crazy arms will hold somebody new, but for now, he is just so lonely all the time.
Line by Line Meaning
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
My emotions are far beyond just feeling blue
That old storm brewing in this heart of mine
My heart is in turmoil and I'm on the verge of emotional collapse
Someday crazy arms will hold somebody new
Eventually, someone else's arms will replace mine
But now I'm so lonely all the time
For now, I am stuck in a lonely state
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
My arms are desperate to hold someone else
While your heart keeps sayin' your not mine not mine
Despite my desire, your heart is committed to someone else
Not mine not mine my troubled minds grows blue
My mind is consumed by blue emotions knowing that you are not mine
To another you'll be wed but now I'm so lonely all the time
I know you will marry someone else but until then I remain alone
Now take all those precious dreams I had for you dear
All the aspirations I had for our future together
And take all that love I thought was mine
The love I believed was meant to be shared between us
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
My arms are crazed, longing for another's embrace
While my yearning heart keeps saying your not mine
Even with the intense yearning, I know you are not mine
Not mine not mine not mine my troubled mind goes blue
My mind is tormented with thoughts of you being with someone else
To another you'll be wed but now I'm so lonely all the time
I know you will eventually marry someone else, leaving me to remain lonely
