He’s been living! Boy, it’d be about time that he told his tale
He’s been stuck in second gear for a while now making the same mistake
The sweet sweet taste of grain does help him melt his days away
Yet all it leaves him is hungover with a growing sense of shame
Until the day he finds himself crying in his lover’s arms
At night when she’s alone and fear keeps her from seeing straight
She’s been having nightmares calling our for daddy to keep her safe
Come nightfall everything seems scarier than it really is
She longs for one place above all, however far or near he is
Until she finds herself finally lying in his loving arms
Don’t you think that everyone deserves someone with open arms
Don’t you think that everyone deserves someone with love in their heart
We’ll be lucky to find ourselves lying in a loved one’s arms
For god and country, he leaves home for lands unknown to him
He does as told like a good soldier, to him it’s sink or swim
Back home the boot is all he gets the day his service ends
He ends up cold and lonelier than war had ever felt to him
And he now longs to find himself dying with his brothers in arms
Don’t you think that everyone deserves someone with open arms
Don’t you think that everyone deserves someone with love in their heart
We’ll be lucky to find ourselves dying in a loved one’s arms
We all live on borrowed time
So I’ll make sure to spend what’s mine
In loving arms
In hope one day I’ll find myself dying in your loving arms
