Jack and Ianto Songs
Today's Jack and Ianto song is…
"Arms" by Christina Perri
Song Title: Arms
Artist: Christina Perri
Album: Lovestrong
Written by: Christina Perri
POV: Jack
Thoughts: If you take this song literally, it's totally their antics with Myfanwy (you knocked me off the ground from the start), but more figuratively, it's about how Jack has finally found a home in Ianto - no matter how unexpected it is, or how much he fights it, or how much he still feels he doesn't deserve it. You'll find I'm a total sucker for the idea of a person being "home" for someone. :o)
Lyrics Excerpt:
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
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
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I try 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
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
