Crazy Arms
Price Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

So please take the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may 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 you're not mine




My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Overall Meaning

The song "Crazy Arms" by Price Ray is a heartbreaking post-breakup song. The singer is expressing his pain and loneliness after breaking up with someone he loved deeply. He is unable to accept that his former love is now someone else's and is haunted by the thought of her being with someone new. The use of the phrase "crazy arms" is particularly poignant as it suggests the desperation that the singer is feeling to hold onto someone who is no longer his. The phrase is one of several used in the song that highlight the singer's mental anguish at the situation.


The lyrics also touch on the idea that the singer was planning a future with his former love that he now realizes will never happen. He sings "take the treasured dreams I have for you and me," suggesting that he had fanciful ideas of what their life together would be like. His realization that these dreams will never come to fruition has left him feeling lost and alone. The song ends on a sad note with the singer acknowledging that although he may move on someday, for now, his "crazy arms" will remain empty and he will continue to be lonely.

LYRICS:

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to...
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

I’m honored to see how many people enjoy this song. It’s been a family heirloom so to speak, for generations in my lineage. The songwriter, Charles Seals, who wrote this is my third cousin.
