[Intro — Soft guitar, distant ambience] I don’t know when You became my home… But somewhere between the silence And the moments we couldn’t let go… I found you. [Verse 1 — Soft, intimate] I’ve been running from the dark I’ve been sleeping with the lights on Trying to convince myself That I don’t need anyone But you walked into my life Like a storm I couldn’t outrun And suddenly forever Didn’t sound so fucking far [Pre-Chorus — Building] If the world comes crashing down If everything we know gets lost I’ll find you in the wreckage No matter what it costs [CHORUS — FULL BAND] BEEEE-CAAAAAAAUSE… I’d die in my sleep To live in your- YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR… ARMS. Heavy guitars explode If heaven’s just a moment I don’t wanna wake up If loving you is dangerous Then I don’t wanna give up BEEEE-CAAAAAAAUSE… I’d lose everything Just to have you— YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR… ARMS. [Verse 2 — Heavier] I’ve got scars beneath my skin From every war I’ve ever fought But you touch them like they’re nothing Like they don’t define who I am And maybe I’m afraid That someday you’ll disappear So I’ll hold you through the midnight And whisper, “Stay right here.” [Pre-Chorus — Bigger] If the stars fall from the sky I’ll still know where you are I’ll follow every broken road Until I find your heart [CHORUS — FULL BAND] BEEEE-CAAAAAAAUSE… I’d die in my sleep To live in your— YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR… ARMS! If heaven’s just a moment Then let me stay right here I’d trade a thousand lifetimes Just to keep you near BEEEE-CAAAAAAAUSE… I’d lose everything Just to have you— YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR… ARMS! [BRIDGE — Everything drops] [Whispered] What if tomorrow never comes? What if this is all we get? Then let me spend my final second Knowing I was loved by you. [Silence] [Soft vocal] I don’t need forever… I just need you. [Instrumental explosion] [SCREAMED] I JUST NEED YOU! [BREAKDOWN] If I fall— CATCH ME! If I break— HOLD ME! If the whole damn world Turns its back on me— DON’T LET GO! [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE] BEEEEEEEE-CAAAAAAAAAAAUSE! I’D DIE IN MY SLEEP TO LIVE IN— YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR! AAAAAAAAAARMS! [Gang vocals] YOUR ARMS! YOUR ARMS! YOUR ARMS! [Final vocal — stripped down] Because… I’d die in my sleep… Just to live… In your arms. [Outro — Guitar fades]
