Strong Arms
Qhairo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I feel alive, like I been before
We can break bread, be an Eagle soaring
I don't believe in loving strangers
But I get the feeling, we've met before

Ahhh

I remember
Do you remember
We would converse about nothing
Oh I remember
Do you (do you do you you)
I remember
You don't trust em
And you try to run from your feelings
So you ran into my arms/ strong arms
Strong arms

Hope that you remember
Know that you remember
(ahh)
Maybe I've been daydreaming
While you built a life with someone new
Maybe I'm confused
Deja vu

I remember do you remember
You made a choice without thinking
And I felt it
Yeah I did (yeah I did, I did oh)
Oh you remember
And I can see it
Now you're in a bed with someone you ain't feeling
Ain't feeling
Shame on you (Shame on you)
Remember the chain that you bought me that I didn't know that I needed, I needed you to (you to, you to)
We planned it two kids in the bedroom asleep dreaming about Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa
Where are you

Marching march away
My baby left again
She left me with no trace
He left without a

Marching March away
My baby's not my babe
I'll never be same
We'll never be the same

Marching March away
My baby's not my babe




I'll never be same
We'll never be the same
