about

Two Arms is about those that shape us and the inevitable hole they would leave us with. It's coated with dance rhythms and power pop vocals that almost makes you forget you're listening to a song about anticipatory grief.

lyrics

Verse 1
A fighting man with a ready hand if he said it so it was no compromise no fuss just 18 with a baby carriage two hot heads in a teenage marriage

Chorus
Daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the books you’re going to school not a fashion show daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the crooks don’t let em play you like piano

Verse 2
In the middle of the century with the pain of a brother in eternity why does he think so little of me to let me know so little of him
Daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the books you're going to school not a fashion show daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the crooks don’t let em play you like piano

Bridge
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to steal your pants I keep forgetting to deliver them into your hands
truthfully last week I decided to keep them they remind me of you
I know someday I will carry you in my own two in my own two arms do you know how how I cherish do you know what you mean

Outro
Daddy told me not to fall I’m afraid of the world without you I’m afraid of the world without you
