Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me lyrics

I was slicing up an avocado

When you came up behind me

With your quiet brand new sneakers

Your reflection I did not see

It was the hottest day in August

And we were heading for the sea

For a second my mind started drifting

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

What spring on the kitchen sink

What's this I had time to think

I see the tip of my index finger

My mind is slowly creating a link

From your mouth speaks your lovely voice

The best comments I've ever heard

"Oh, honey, you've cut off your finger

I bet that's got to hurt"

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

I must have passed out on the floor

I've never seen so many bright stars

When I wake I'm in the wainting room

At the local E.R.

My hand is wrapped in toilet paperr

And my shirts all blood red

I see you standing there like an angel

And I say "baby, I must be dead"

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me

You put your arms around me
