Etta James

[Verse 1]

Did you spend most of your life waitin'

On a fairytale read between pages?

Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio

Is somebody waiting on the same song?

And we sold our souls on the fantasies

We found in records and black and white movies

And I used to beg June to burn me alive

If that would get me anywhere but here

[Chorus]

Now Etta James, hit that symphony

'Cause she drifts through my blood like a remedy

And for most of my sad life, I figured I was gonna die alone

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars

Twenty long years away from your heart

'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms

My love is in my arms

[Verse 2]

And it was impossible to hold on to anything

In my chest was a lonesome, growin' cyclone

I kept pictures tucked up into the rearview above

To the sirens I lost in the ocean

And all we wanted was absolutely everything

Like foolish, hungry young lions

I was lost and alone, a million light years from home

It was nobody's fault but mine

[Chorus]

Now Etta James, hit that symphony

'Cause she drifts through my blood like a remedy

And for most of my sad life, I figured I was gonna die alone

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars

Twenty long years away from your heart

But finally, finally, my love is in my arms

[Bridge]

And was there a hole in your life?

Did you kill to keep warm, but somehow never quite satisfied?

Do you feel like it's always time to go?

And it's always wrong and it's always off

And it's hard to know which heart to hold

Now do you lie to someone, is someone else on your mind?

Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?

[Chorus]

Now Etta James, hit that symphony

'Cause she drifts through my blood like a remedy

And for most of my sad life, I figured I was gonna die alone

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars

Twenty long years away from your heart

'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms

My love is in my arms

[Outro]

(Etta James, Etta James

Etta James, sing it one time for my pain

Etta James, Etta James

Etta James, sing it one time for my pain)

At last, at last

(Etta James, Etta James

Etta James, sing it one time for my pain)

At last, at last

(Etta James, Etta James

Etta James, sing it one time for my pain)

Like Etta said, my love has come along
