Arms

I'm a couple days shy of a shutdown

I'm a couple years over this town

I'm a couple more stops on the Overground

Falling back where I want to be

Back where I want to be

I just collected now this month's paycheck

I earn it, but the guest won't spend it

All the long shots want to lend it

Take another chunk out of me

Take another chunk out of me

In these aching arms

Is where I want to keep you

'Cause when I

'Cause when I hold you close

This is all that really matters

You do everything the best you can do

You're up early, work the whole long day through

Every hour that the good Lord sends you

And you're lying in bed, moonlight creeping under lashes

Creeping under lashes, yeah

Well, I'm dreaming of a house in Sydney

On the rocks, but nothing too fancy

Just the Tasman Sea for company

But even if we don't get there

Get off the end of the street

In these aching arms

Is where I want to keep you

'Cause when I

'Cause when I hold you close

This is all that really matters

It's all right, close your eyes

Don't you worry now

Even though we're gonna to turn this thing around

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Right now, this is all that really matters

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Nothing gonna feel as good as right now

Right now, this is all that really matters

In these aching arms

Is where I want to keep you

'Cause when I

'Cause when I hold you close

This is all that really matters
