As She Threw Her Arms Around Me (Harvey Fox Cover)

Did I stumble down your hallways chasing ribbons in the air?
I need you with me always and you're never really there
But your fingers feel like streams of running water through my hair
Are you even there at all?
There at all?

She said you'd be a little taller if you stood a little straighter
We could be a little closer if you'd stop being such a stranger
We could spend the night together if you felt like coming over
And her words just fall around me
All like water crashing up against a wall

And suddenly I cannot breathe at all

She said you'd be a little taller if you stood a little straighter
We could be a little closer if you'd stop being such a stranger
We could spend the night together since you felt like coming over
But her voice is breaking through me
And she fell right through the inside of my skull

I never should have went against my instincts
They've never done me wrong, but, darling
Deep-seeded loneliness can really do a number on a human being
You know what I mean?

You know I'm often lost at conversation

Well I know it isn't easy, but I need you more than ever
Just to tell me what on Earth you really mean
It's not easy to believe, but I've been trying
Maybe I'm just tired of the pain
Maybe I'm just dying to feel whole again
Maybe I'm just drowning in the waves
And I guess that I'm just wondering just how long it really takes a wound to heal

They're always tearing open
And maybe I'm just terrified of always staying broken
And we're falling and we're rolling and we're never getting closer
But mostly I just wonder I just wonder if you're even there at all

And I wonder if I'm even there at all

I wish that I were better
I wish that I were new
I wish that I were better
I wish that you were too

And all the walls around me finally fall

Now I don't ever grow concerned of time
But every moment you were mine, I am lost entire lifetimes
In the stillness of your eyes
In the warmest little smile
Well love has been an ember slowly dying
You have brought the breath of life again

So close your eyes and lie awake
Drifting further from the pier
Let the sand the tidal take
Rise and slowly disappear

Never have I met someone so kind
Who can ease a worried mind like you ease mine
And show the kind of love only a broken...
Know how to show a broken I've been down there before
And I'm not going to leave you sad until you find
Someway out of this alive

So close your eyes and lie awake
Settle down and hold me nearer
Let the embers from the ashes
Rise and slowly disappear

I'm reminded why we go through Hell
Just to maybe wind up back here again
Now your words whisper into my skeleton
Darling, you could tell me anything

You know you'd be a little taller if you stood a little straighter
We could be a little closer if you'd stop being such a stranger
We could go through this together if you felt a little braver
As she threw her arms around me...

I'm no longer holding anything at all
Close my eyes and falling back into Your arms
And I'm forever falling down
I'm forever falling down
I'm forever falling down
Like a feather to the ground
I'm forever falling down!

You know you'd be a little taller if you stood a little straighter
We could be a little closer if you'd stop being such a stranger
We could go to the beginning if you felt like starting over
As she threw her arms around me...
