"Arms" lyrics

"Arms"

If I was your neighbor
I'd sit by your steps each day
And bring you the paper
Just to hear you remember my name
If I served you coffee
I put my heart in each cup I'd make
That'd be me, the caffeine in your blood
Little more with each sip you take

Oh I'm falling for you so madly
As soon as I leave, I just wanna come back
And I know this is gonna end badly
'Cause it feels like you are the one thing that I have
And who am I to hold you when you have arms for the whole world?
And who am I to hold you when you have arms for the world?

If you sent me a message
It would read with the warmth of your touch
I'd hang on each word of each line
Pulling life out of zeroes and ones
If we went to dinner
It would fill me for more than a night
We'd stay til they closed up
Wiped the tables and turned out the lights

Oh I'm falling for you so madly
As soon as I leave, I just wanna come back
And I know this is gonna end badly
'Cause it feels like you are the one thing that I have
And who am I to hold you when you have arms for the whole world?
And who am I to hold you when you have arms for the world?

If I was still your lover
I'd whisper to you every night
That I'd never do all of the things that I did
If you shivered I'd pull you in tight

Oh I'd fallen for you so madly
As soon as you left, I just wanted you back
And I knew this was gonna end badly
'Cause it feels like you were the one thing that I had
But who was I to hold you when you had arms for the whole world?
And who was I to hold you when you had arms for the world?

And who was I?
And who was I?
