Marc is best known for the songs "Where You Are" and "Home." Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's Momentary Setback which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on Carencro. As of July 2005, "Home" was released as a single.
Although Broussard is rather unknown, he is characteristically known and critically praised for his strong vocals. However, he has garnered an uptick in popularity thanks to a snappy tune "Must Be The Water" which is featured in television commercials on TNT for the 2008 NBA All-Star game held in New Orleans.
Back in Your Arms
Marc Broussard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lived by luck and faith
I carried you inside of me
Prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standing on this empty road
Where nothing moves but the wind
And honey I just want to be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
You said once I was your treasure
And I saw your face in every star
The promises we make at night
Oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're as empty as the howling wind
Now darling I just want to be
You came to me with love and kindness
But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
And I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all this shadow and darkness is
And a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
Honey I'm longing for again
Now there's nothing I wouldn't do if I could be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your armsâ?¦

Line by Line Meaning
In my dream my love was lost
I had a dream where I lost the love that I thought I had.
I lived by luck and faith
I relied on luck and faith to get me through life without that love.
I carried you inside of me
Even without your physical presence, I held onto the memories and feelings of us together.
Prayed it wouldn't be too late
I hoped it wasn't too late to fix what we had lost.
Now I'm standing on this empty road
I'm alone on a road with nothing in sight.
Where nothing moves but the wind
The only thing that's moving is the wind.
And honey I just want to be
I just want to be loved by you.
Back in your arms
I want to be held in your arms again.
Back in your arms again
I miss the feeling of being in your arms.
You said once I was your treasure
You used to think of me as something valuable and precious to you.
And I saw your face in every star
I associated the stars with the image of your face.
The promises we make at night
The things we say to each other in the dark.
Oh that's all they are
Those promises are empty and meaningless without action.
Unless we fill them with faith and love
We need to back up those promises with faith and love for each other.
They're as empty as the howling wind
Without the feelings behind them, those promises are nothing more than noise.
Now darling I just want to be
My dearest, I simply want your affection.
You came to me with love and kindness
You approached me with an earnest heart and benevolence.
But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I've always been blind to the love that's been there for me.
I met you with indifference
I didn't realize how much you meant to me and was apathetic towards you.
And I don't know why
I can't explain why I acted that way.
Now I wake from my dream
I'm jolted awake from my dream.
I wake from my dream to this world
I confront this world after being in a dream state.
Where all this shadow and darkness is
A world filled with pain and suffering.
And a dark sky unfurls
The sky is bleak and desolate.
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
I regret letting go of all the love that I had and the love that I lost.
Honey I'm longing for again
I yearn for love once more.
Now there's nothing I wouldn't do if I could be
I'm willing to do anything if it means being loved by you again.
Back in your arms
I want to feel the comfort of your embrace.
Back in your arms again
I want to be welcomed back into your embrace again.
