Not Within Arms Length Lyrics
NOT WITHIN ARMS LENGTH!
I'd sever the stars from the sky
and place them in your hands
if I thought another wish / they'd see the light of day
but you stand beyond the sun
Beyond the reach of just a friend
maybe if i grew wings / maybe if you lost yours
these words would flow like water
if you'd let them scrape your heart
Not with in arms length
embedded within my concise effort
a silent cry / I receive no comfort
and as I collapse we remain nothing more than friends
As I hold my breath / a throat full of cement
I'm disgusted by repetition I accept this curse
of friendship / your friend / friendship
I'd sever the stars from the sky
and place them in your hands
if I thought another wish / they'd see the light of day
but you stand beyond the sun
Beyond the reach of just a friend
maybe if i grew wings / maybe if you lost yours
these words would flow like water
if you'd let them scrape your heart
Not with in arms length
embedded within my concise effort
a silent cry / I receive no comfort
and as I collapse we remain nothing more than friends
As I hold my breath / a throat full of cement
I'm disgusted by repetition I accept this curse
of friendship / your friend / friendship

Amazing.
..I LOVE this band!...Poison the Well have awesome lyrics and a great sound... Thiz iz probably my favorite song by them....
yes punk..... not many compare to ptw........ i cant say what my fave song is.....this one is good just like the rest of them though
no one else has commented, so i figured i would. this song is fucking amazing... poison the well is amazing in general. i completely understand the line"im disgusted by repetition, i accept this curse of friendship" i guess alot of us do... i wish to hell i didnt
augh, they are so perfect.
I have to agree Poison the Well is fucking kick ass. How Jeff goes from screaming to beauty astounds me. Me and my friends band signer split the vocals for their version of "Today" and I got the screaming part and OMG my voice was dead I dont know HOW he does it. I think they arent human....
Its amazing how much more this song means when you're in the same situation, all of their songs are soo deep it's incredible. Long live PTW!
such great lyrics... ther amazing. i cant even put it into words how great ther music is
aah. Story of my life, this song. It's bittersweet how much I can relate to it. "I accept this curse/ of friendship/your friend/ friendship"
"not within arms length" it says it all...i could listen to PTW for hours on end they are that good! best line they have is 'maybe if i grew wings/maybe if you lost yours' ahhhh its soo good.....their lyrics are so deep*
