Broken Arms Lyrics
I was a believer for the rest of the night,
I was in the backyard getting drunk.
Stealing all your wishes from the window sill,
Yelling out and showing them off.
You don’t want to be here when the night comes out.
Nothing that you’ve seen comes close to now.
You don’t want to know the way it feels.
I was in the trenches, I was watching the fight,
Strangers on strangers gets you off.
You were in the middle, when they all came out,
Hoping that they’d carry you off.
Oh no, I’m nothing like that.
Not going round and round.
I want to see it like you.
You’re never anxious of broken arms,
Get them loud to shake it off.
It’s the mystery you love.
Oh, but I’m dangerous like that.
I want to tie you up and laugh.
And when the night comes out we’re trapped!
Oh, but I know what I can’t have.
You crack a smile but never laugh.
You wrap your blood around my hands.
The night arrives and you pretend.
But, I know what I don’t know.
I was in the backyard getting drunk.
Stealing all your wishes from the window sill,
Yelling out and showing them off.
You don’t want to be here when the night comes out.
Nothing that you’ve seen comes close to now.
You don’t want to know the way it feels.
Strangers on strangers gets you off.
You were in the middle, when they all came out,
Hoping that they’d carry you off.
Not going round and round.
I want to see it like you.
You’re never anxious of broken arms,
Get them loud to shake it off.
It’s the mystery you love.
I want to tie you up and laugh.
And when the night comes out we’re trapped!
You crack a smile but never laugh.
You wrap your blood around my hands.
The night arrives and you pretend.
