Died In Your Arms
Resource Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been somrthing you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I canÂ´t get
Broken hearts around me
And I donÂ´t see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table

The curtains are closed, the cas in the cradle
Who wouldÂ´ve thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I just died in your arms tonight
It mustÂ´ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Wo oh oh I just died in your arms tonight
It mustÂ´ve been some kind of kiss
I shouldÂ´ve walked away
I shouldÂ´ve walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface IÂ´m a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
IÂ´ve lost and found, itÂ´s my final mistake
SheÂ´s loving proxy, no give and all take
IÂ´ve been thrilles ti fantasy one too many times

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made me feel right
But now itÂ´s over the moment has gone

I found my hands not my head
I know I was wrong
