Etta James |
Did you spend most of your life waitin' |
On a fairytale read between pages? |
Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio |
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 |
Now Etta James, hit that symphony |
Cause she drips 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 |
And it was impossible to hold on to anything |
In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone |
I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above |
To the sirens all 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 |
Now Etta James, hit that symphony |
Cause she drips 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 |
My love is in my arms |
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? |
Now Etta James, hit that symphony |
Cause she drips 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 |
(Etta James, Etta James |
Etta James, it’s been a long time coming…) |
At last, at last… |
I could’ve said my love was coming 'long |
