Jens Lekman Your Arms Around Me
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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 is wrapped in debris
You're sitting next to me reading the paper
I put your arm around me
[Outro]
