Your Arms Around Me

I was slicing up an avocado

When you came up behind me

With your silent brand new sneakers

Your reflection, I did not see

It was the hottest day in August

We were heading for the sea

For a second my mind started drifting

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around

Blood spraying on the kitchen sink

"What's this?" I have time to think

I see the tip of my index finger

My mind is slowly creating a link

From your mouth speaks your lovely voice

The softest words ever spoken

"What's broken can always be fixed

What's fixed will always be broken"

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around

I must have passed out on the porch

Dreamt I was carried in a kangaroo's pouch

When I wake up, I'm in the waiting room

On a dirty hospital couch

My hand is wrapped in toilet paper

And my body's wrapped in debris

You're sitting next to me reading the paper

I put your arm around me
