Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Breathe in deep, I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out, to help you through
That's why the arm came for you
[Verse 2]
You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass, in a band ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do, oh, I want you to
[Verse 3]
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Ow
[Verse 4]
Now you'll see how it feels to live like a bee
Always searching for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry, oh
[Verse 5]
I swim until it's deep
Till it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear, oh, I cannot hear
In a lifeless carcass, in a band ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do, oh, I want you to
[Verse 6]
And that's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
[Verse 7]
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Need to do even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you
[Verse 8]
You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try
[Verse 9]
You're mine, you're mine
Is that why I lied?
Well, I told you, you weren't breathing
Oh, maybe I'll try, and, girl, bye, bye
