How come your arms are not around me? (Kristofer Astrom Cover by Dallas Green) Lyrics

You could have the sun.
You could have the water, this I'll give to you.
You could be the moon.
You could be the harbor I arrive to.
You could come over uninvited.
You say I'm the one...the one to hold you.
Does that go for the others too?

No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

Yesterday around 4a.m
I thought about you ohhh for a minute or two
I know its no good.
I feel so lonely, sleeping without you.
How come your arms are not around me?
Well I said I'm the one, the one to hold you well I guess he said that too...

No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

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.

i think that this song is about like he loves her so much hed do anything for her but is scared that even though shes telling him that hes the one, that shes also tellling other people that too. then he finds out he was right in the end and she did have another guy on the side. hes also still hurt over her and misses her, he has trouble sleeping because he keeps thinking about her when he knows that it wont change anything.
