In My Arms
Tyne-James Organ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know this
Place where I can't sleep for days
For months, and I just sit alone
But I won't wait here
I'm gonna chase this golden mile
That I can't seem to find

I was waiting by the ocean

For the sun to shine on me
And now I'm driving down that old road
The sun is shining
I'll be there soon, you'll see
Said I don't know you,
But I still want you
To be my in my arms
Said I don't know you
But I want you in my arms
In my arms

In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

Do you know this place they call it:
"Golden Hope"
The place that I just don't wanna go
And when I get there, I
Find the strength to
Let it all out
I'll hold you in my arms

I was waiting by the ocean
For the sun to shine on me
And now I'm driving down that old road
The sun is shining
I'll be there soon, you'll see
Said I don't know you,
But I still want you
To be my in my arms
Said I don't know you
But I want you in my arms
In my arms

In my arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms
In my arms

Oh baby, in my arms
