In Your Arms

All I wanna do is lose myself in you
Like in a book on a subway train, when you miss your stop by two
Like kickin' stones in the winter mornin' dew
Oh my, oh my, what I would do

Head heavy, I wonder through the night
My thoughts are like veins of electricity that spread when lightin' strikes
I fell apart when I finally realised
That we've got clocks we could never time

Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to L.A.
Wish I could've stayed in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickets and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated
But when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead

Eros, oh, a fool, you played me black and blue
Like this old Gulbransen in my parents' livin' room
I tried to show her it could be beautiful
Before she gets eyes for somebody new

Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to L.A.
Wish I could've stayed in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickets and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated
But when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead

(Instead)

Yeah, I just wanted you to let me love you (instead)
But I guess it would've made it harder
Wish I didn't have to fly to L.A. (instead)
Wish I could've stayed in Perth for longer
That I could sell my tickets and drive right home
If you really wanted
Though it's a little more complicated (instead)
And when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead

(Hmm-hmm)
So when Christmas comes again
I hope I'm in your arms instead
