Description
In Your ArmsWe were close enough to touch
But far enough to walk away
Everything I owned was on the floor
And everything I was was on display
For you
Your hand reached out
And I regret to say I flinched
But I stood my ground
And felt your fingers on my skin
Yeah they were rough around the edges
But soft upon my heart
As brick by brick the wall I’d built
They slowly picked apart
And soon
I felt free from insecurity
From the doubt and from the fear
From the burden of the broken heart
I’d carried all these years
I felt free of the prison
That I’d always thought was home
I felt free
In your arms
Yeah you were just a breath away
An exhalation on my lips
And I was falling from the brink
Of that almost kiss
With you
But you spread your wings
And we flew into the sun
You set my soul on fire
Stole the breath right from my lungs
As I screamed in ecstasy
When you twined your hand in mine
Then I dove headfirst into your eyes
And left the world behind
And soon
I felt free from reality
From my body and my soul
From the coffin of my sanity
And all the years it stole
I felt free of the prison
I’d always thought was home
I felt free
In your arms
I felt your heartbeat on my cheek
Steady breaths beneath my head
A living pillow under me
A body for a bed
Oh you
Yeah you slumbered like a lion
While I laid there wide awake
Tranquility within my heart
A smile on my face
And I knew it then
As I know it now
That that night would be the first
Of countless others to be found
Soon
Yeah I felt free from the past
From the shackles and their scars
From the concrete cell within my breast
And its cold steel bars
I felt free of the prison
I’d always thought was home
I felt free
In your arms

Thanks. It's a rather slow song and I usually prefer something a little faster paced, but it' nice to tread new waters sometimes.

Thanks. I find too much repetition in songs to be annoying so I try to change things up where I can.

I definitely like this one. The metaphors are well written and the changing chorus is always a good lyrical choice.
