When Your Arms Were Around

I was stone cold convinced

You were holding me down

I could chase my wildest dreams

With you not around

But I was crazy to think

That I could hold my own

'Cause I started to crumble

The minute you were gone

When your arms were around

They held my world together

They kept me safe and sound

Right through the roughest weather

Guess I just lost touch

With the man in me you found

I was strong as I could be

When your arms were around

I've done everything

I said that I would

But you know somehow the good life

Don't feel like it should

So this ladder that I've climbed

I'd gladly back down

If I could just have one night

When your arms were around

When your arms were around

They held my world together

They kept me safe and sound

Right through the roughest weather

Guess I just lost touch

With the man in me you found

I was strong as I could be

When your arms were around

I was strong as I could be

When your arms were around
