In These Arms

The Swell Season · Parenthood [2010]

Use the truth as a weapon to beat up all your friends

Every chink in the armor

An excuse to cause offense

And the boys from the hallway calling out your name

And true love will find them in the end



You were restless

I was somewhere less secure

So I went running to the road

And so now there's a long list of places I was

I quit my rambling and came home



'Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms



Use your saints and your mantra

And your things to keep you calm

If you stay with that asshole he's gonna do you harm

There's a voice singing loudly on the radio just for you

And good fortune will find him in the end



Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms



Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
