In My Arms

I?ve written you before now
Bruised my tongue on every stamp
Felt the distance and the agony
Of here and there being neither the same nor different

I?ve written a piece of you down in every note
That?s stretched my guitar
And I?ve shamed myself for women
Who could never be you
?Cause you could never be me
Never be mine, a saving grace

If you were in my arms right now
You?d be in my arms right now
If you were in my arms you?d be in my arms

How many letters do we send?
How many lines do we pen?
How many miles do we walk
Before we make some sense?
I?m glad that you can feel again,
Glad that you can bleed again

Glad that you can feel again,
Glad that you can bleed again

If you were in my arms right now
You?d be in my arms right now
If you were in my arms right now
You?d be in my arms right now
If you were in my arms
You?d be in my arms

But you and I are not, will not, cannot
Cause I?ve been drawn, quartered, and beaten
While I?ve shamed myself for women
Who could never be you
?Cause you can never be me
Never be mine, a saving grace

If you were in my arms right now
You?d be in my arms right now
If you were in my arms
You?d be in my arms
If you were in my arms right now
You?d be in my arms right now
If you were in my arms
You?d be in my arms

I?ve written you before now
Bruised my tongue on every stamp
