I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Why don't you stay in my, my lonely arms
Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.
You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
I need it so
Stay in my lonely arms
Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.
Holding you close is so heavenly
I can feel the love glow deep inside of me
Please, don't go.
Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
Each kiss makes love just a little stronger
Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer
Please, don't go.
Stay in my, in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms
You are so thrilling, my arms are willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.
You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
I need it so
Stay in my lonely arms
Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.
Holding you close is so heavenly
I can feel the love glow deep inside of me
Please, don't go.
Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
Each kiss makes love just a little stronger
Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer
Please, don't go.
Stay in my, in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms
You are so thrilling, my arms are willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
