Lyric Fridays: 2am Anna Nalick, Arms - Christine Perri
I have a friend, who swore me to secrecy. So, this week I couldn't stop thinking about 2am by Anna Nalick, because the only place I've been able to write the things she's told me is in my journal. There are lyrics in that song that make me think of my situation:
2am and I'm still awake
Writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside me threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary screaming out loud
And I know you'll use them however you want to
The words are on my journal, but I still feel like they're threatening me. . . they're still locked deep down inside me, and I can't breathe no matter how deep a breath I take. So, I was wrong. . . the lyrics don't fit me at all.
On a lighter note, I've been listening to Arms by Christine Perri on repeat lately. It's a total Jane & Lisbon song. . . I am absolutely in love with it, I want to write a story to it one day. But right now, I have other stories to concentrate on, other things I need to write. So, maybe one day I'll write it. Until now though, I'm content to picture Jane thinking these lyrics abotu Lisbon:
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 my arms around me and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put my 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 our 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 want to 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 our 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 never opened up
I've never truly loved until you
And 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 our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
You put your arms around me and I'm home
2am and I'm still awake
Writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside me threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary screaming out loud
