Lyrics Your Arms Around Me - Jens Lekman

Your Arms Around Me

I was slicing up an avocado
When you came up behind me With your quiet brand new sneakers
Your reflection I did not see
It was the hottest day in August
And we were heading for the sea
For a second my mind started drifting
You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around me What spring on the kitchen sink
What’s this I had time to think
I see the tip of my index finger
My mind is slowly creating a link
From your mouth speaks your lovely voice
The best comments I’ve ever heard
«Oh, honey, you’ve cut off your finger
I bet that’s got to hurt»
You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around me I must have passed out on the floor
I’ve never seen so many bright stars
When I wake I’m in the wainting room
At the local E.R.
My hand is wrapped in toilet paperr
And my shirts all blood red
I see you standing there like an angel
And I say «baby, I must be dead»
You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around me
