[Verse 1] 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
[Bridge] 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
[Verse 2] 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
[Hook] I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me cause I'm already falling I'll never let our love get so close You put your arms around me and I'm home
[Bridge] You put your arms around me And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...
[Hook] 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
[Verse 4] I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth And I've never opened up I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
[Hook] I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me cause I'm already falling I'll never let our love get so close You put your arms around me and I'm home

‘Arms’ is about the fight between your heart and your mind. Your heart wants to be loved but your head is always telling you reasons not to be with him or her, or how you are not worth the love. It’s about the struggle and finally giving in when you’re wrapped in their arms. Then you get it. Then you feel loved and love wins."
