Christina Perri – Arms Lyrics 13 years ago
I never thought that
You would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

She never thought the he's the one she'll fall for.
A simple touch from him, like putting his arms around her, makes her feel safe and sound, loved and home.
But with such strong feelings also gives her the thought- that having this feeling every time he hugs her, so intense and so much- that he loves her less than she is, or she loves him more than he is.

How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

She's always having second thoughts about him, about them being together. If she should keep her feelings or let him know.
She's hoping that he'll understand what she's going through, that it's not easy, that behind the walls or shield she built, there was an aching and afraid warrior.
She's afraid of love because she know she might get hurt, but she's still hoping that he feel the same. She's afraid to risk.
But when he put his arms around her, that war she's having had ended because she's already home, safe and sound.

The world is coming down on me
And I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you
But I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

The fear she's having has so many questions about love and security, When the world is knocking her down, she feel so much insecurity, that she think she's not worth of love.
She's not sure for his feelings towards her, that the feeling may not be mutual. She's afraid.
And somehow she needs to protect herself, and the idea of leaving him and making him jealous came to her, to prove something, to prove that maybe the feelings are the same. But she don't know how because there's no one who will be her other option, because he's the only one she got.

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

You put your arms around me and I'm home

She's a warrior trying to keep her feelings to herself, because she's afraid.
But when he put his arms around her, finally she had taken the risk. Whether, she loves him more than he do, she doesn't care anymore, because now, no matter what he's feelings towards her, she loves him still. She had taken the risk and now she's safe and sound, loved and happily at home.
