Open arms
PRETTYMUCH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, it's prettymuch

I see you've been trying to make
Something out of nothing
But baby I'm starting to face
The fact that you're out on the run (oh woah)

Now you got me cuffed
And you ain't even on me
Caught me slippin' up
And now I need you on me
I just wanna touch
But I keep being turned away (woah)

Girl you could tear me apart
But I can't help it, I'm waitin'
Here with open arms (oh)
So when you're ready, you know where to find me
Got that key to your heart
Scrape my knees on the pavement
Here with open arms
So when you're ready you know where to find me

So I've been waiting by my phone (brrp)
For that ringtone
But you just don't know what to say
No, it's not like I'm asking for much (woah, woah)

Now you got me cuffed (cuffed, cuffed)
And you ain't even on me
Caught me slipping up (up, up)
And now I need you on me
I just wanna touch
But I keep being turned away (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Girl, you could tear me apart
But I can't help it, I'm waitin'
Here with open arms (oh)
So when you're ready, you know where to find me
Got that key to your heart
Scrape my knees on the pavement
Here with open arms
So when you're ready you know where to find me

When you're ready, ready, ready
When you're ready, ready, ready
When you're ready, ready, ready
(You know where to find me)
When you're ready, ready, ready
(You know where to find me) when you're ready, ready, ready
When you're ready, ready, ready

(I'll be waiting by my phone) when you're ready, ready, ready
(Waiting for your call) when you're ready, ready, ready
(Waiting for you to come, my baby, oh) when you're ready, ready, ready
(Baby let me know)
When you're ready

Girl, you could tear me apart
But I can't help it, I'm waitin'
Here with open arms (oh)
So when you're ready, you know where to find me
Got that key to your heart
Scrape my knees on the pavement
Here with open arms
So when you're ready you know where to find me





You know where to find me
