Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My sunken bed, dreams held us higher
We swore that nothing could come and free us
When it's too hot to stretch out over wire
A need for silence slowly killing you
[PreChorus]
I don't need these ties
As much as I need freeing from you
You got your arms out open wide
You say, "Come on baby, take a look"
[Chorus]
I'll stay with you
When you are cruel to the violent thoughts in your head
But sometimes you'll do much worse
It can't reverse the beautiful things you said
[Verse 2]
Yeah, in blue jeans, the faded color
'Cause we wear them always
Yeah, we trampled on holy ground
So you could throw your toys out of the crib
[PreChorus]
And I'll hold down these ties
As much as I want freeing from you
You got your arms out open wide
You say, "Come on baby, take a look"
[Chorus]
I'll stay with you
When you are cruel to the violent thoughts in your head
Sometimes you'll do much worse
It can't reverse the beautiful things you said
[Bridge]
Yeah
Love is a terror, when they stick together
Love is a terror if it's all forever
Love is a terror
Got my arms out open wide
Got my arms out open wide
Yeah, arms out open wide
Come on baby take a look
Inside
[Chorus]
I'll stay with you
When you are cruel to the violent thoughts in your head
But sometimes you'll do much worse
It can't reverse the beautiful things you said
[Outro]
Got my arms out open wide
You got your arms out open wide
Your arms out open wide
Your arms out open wide
