You put your arms around me and I am home.
Topic: Uncategorized| 2 Comments »I am swept by this song by Chistina Perri. Yes, I like her voice. Yes, I like the music. But most of all, I have finally found the words I have spent years searching for.
I go to bed before David every night. Sometimes hours earlier. And every single night he puts me to bed. He lies down, I cuddle up and put my head in My Spot on his shoulder, and he puts his arms around me until I melt into sleep.
As I close my eyes and take in the grasp of his arms, the beat of his heart, and the scent of his body I look for words to describe the happiness, safety, and love I feel.
Well, now I have found the words…
“You put your arms around me and I am home.”
David, I am yours.
Lyrics: Arms by Christina Perri.
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I’m home
How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around
I can’t decide if I’ll let you save my life or if I’ll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m home
The world is coming down on me and I can’t find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can’t make you bleed if I’m alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m home
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I’ve never opened up
I’ve never truly loved ‘Till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m home
You put your arms around me and I’m home

This is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. Joel and I always go to bed together, which is kind of ridiculous because we end up staying up way too late. But we just like to be together. I love the way you two have found to be together despite different bedtimes.

Yep, totally bawling here in my apartment. You nailed it for me and Adam too.
