Throw Your Arms Around Me
Eddie Vedder Neil Finn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I will come to you in the day time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running down your street
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh, make you cry
and you may never forget it as I make you call my name
as I shout it to the blue summer sky
and we may never meet again
so shed your skin lets get started
and you will throw your arms around me
and you will throw your arms around me

I will come to you at night time
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 155 places
as I go swimming around in your head
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh, make you cry
and we may never forget it
as I make you call my name
as you shout it to the blue summer sky

and we may never meet again
so shed your skin lets get started
and you will throw your arms around me
and you will throw your arms around me

ohh...

.and you will throw your arms around me
