Your Arms Around Me Lyrics
i was slicing up an avocado
when you came up behind me
with your quiet brand new sneakers
your reflection i did not see
it was the hottest day in august
and we were heading for the sea
for a second my mind started drifting
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around
blood sprayed on the kitchen sink
whats this? i had time to think
i see the tip of my index finger
my mind is slowly creating a link
from your mouth speaks your lovely voice
the softest words ever spoken
what's broken can always be fixed
whats fixed will always be----
broken----
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around
i must've passed out on the porch
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
when i wake up im in the waiting room
on a dirty hospital couch
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
and my body's wrapped in debree
sitting next to me reading the paper
i put your arm on my knee....
when you came up behind me
with your quiet brand new sneakers
your reflection i did not see
it was the hottest day in august
and we were heading for the sea
for a second my mind started drifting
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around
whats this? i had time to think
i see the tip of my index finger
my mind is slowly creating a link
from your mouth speaks your lovely voice
the softest words ever spoken
what's broken can always be fixed
whats fixed will always be----
broken----
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around me
you put your arms around
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
when i wake up im in the waiting room
on a dirty hospital couch
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
and my body's wrapped in debree
sitting next to me reading the paper
i put your arm on my knee....

Definitely love more the line when he sings it as
"my mind is slowly creating a link from your mouth speaks your lovely voice the sofest words every spoken what's broken can always be fixed but what's fixed will always be broken"
Good lord, this is simply beautiful
I'm inclined to think that the line:

Means that there will always be the fractures of the break, even once fixed. There will always be underlying issues that will creep up. I think Jens just makes it such a cute song that it's easier to think of it in other ways.

ok this is weird, ive heard a totally different version of this song as well, where some of the lines are different, like for an example instead of "the best comments ive ever heard oh honey you've cut off your finger i bet thats gotta hurt"
it goes "the sweetest words ever spoken/ whats broken will always be fixed/ and whats fixed will always be broken"
whats with that?
really sweet & quirky ballad :) funny and light - while still being touching and meaningful
interpretator: No. You can think that if you like, but regardless of version, it is just a beautiful and sweet little story about a minor accident and the cute way all he can think about is love and affection even when he chops his fingertip off.

i love this song! its so sweet!! it pretty much speaks for itself, its pretty straight forward. I heard in an interview that it's a true story as well.
i love the lines "the best comment ive ever heard/ oh honey you've cut off your finger/i bet thats gotta hurt."
just the fact that he should be in such physical pain but instead just concentrates on his love is precious. :) one of my new favorite songs.
"Baby I must be dead."
It's so..
yeah, I have that version too - is that the one that came with the album, maybe this is a live version? weird, I can't decide which I like better though - reading over these lyrics, this version is pretty awesome too.
on second thought I guess that makes sense - this is on his new album, but everyone else's comments are from 2006. MYSTERY SOLVED
