Hold Me in Your Arms Lyrics

I need you, need you by my side
Lonely evenings, eyes are open wide
Nothing you say could make me turn my back
Well I see you, and you see me too
Moon is rising, night will be here soon
Follow me, and lay down in my room
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Well now heal me, heal me with your touch
Your touch keeps me hangin’ on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Does anyone else think Dan Auerbach is the best guitarist in the past couple decades?

Bloody top notch song - my favourite off ThickFreaky. The slide guitar is rocking and pumping, more than Jack White's ever could.

he's not the best guitarist of the last decade, but he certainly has the ability to come up with some A grade riffs...maybe better than anyone else of the last decade. the last person with riffs this good was Tony Iommi

I think of myself- and how when I truly like a girl I always want to be with her. I crave that attention, and the physical contact, it makes me feel like a better person.

Another song that Dan just shreds away on guitar. Brilliant!

This is a perfect song...the lyrics are simple and the licks are dead on. It's pitch-fucking-perfect, without a doubt. I love blues songs because they can emote so much without falling into that pithy emo category, which is known for its overlong and sappy renditions of what love should be about. This song best describes what love (at least the romantic part) should be. Powerful, pointed, and hits right to the heart.

He's a bad ass guitarist. I love all their songs but this is one of my favorites.
