Open Arms - 4:22

Put down your keys,
and take your coat off for awhile.
Be my distraction one more time.
When you are here
I have no reason not to smile.
Let me pretend that you’re still mine.

I always hoped
you would come around again.
And I know I should run away.
But I welcome you with open arms,
until you have taken up your fill,
then I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.

Give me one kiss,
oh how I’ve missed
that familiar taste.
You know I don’t want another fight.
Just say the word,
and all the hurt will be erased.
Just help me get some sleep tonight.

I always hoped
that someday you’d change your mind
and you don’t have to tell me why

I will welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.

I want you to take me for a ride.
I want you to dominate my life.
I haven’t slept much since the day you said goodbye.
So come by.

I know that I would be wise to second guess,
but either way you’ll break my heart.

So I welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
