Etta James

Did you spend most of your life waitin'
 On a fairytale read between pages?
 Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio
 Is somebody waiting on the same song?
 And we sold our souls on the fantasies
 We found in records and black and white movies
 And I used to beg June to burn me alive
 If that would get me anywhere but here
 Now Etta James, hit that symphony
 'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
 And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
 20 long years away from your heart
 'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
 My love is in my arms
 And it was impossible to hold on to anything
 In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone
 I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above
 To the sirens all lost in the ocean
 And all we wanted was absolutely everything
 Like foolish, hungry young lions
 I was lost and alone, a million light years from home
 It was nobody's fault but mine
 Now Etta James, hit that symphony
 'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
 And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
 20 long years away from your heart
 But finally, finally, my love is in my arms
 And was there a hole in your life?
 Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied?
 Do you feel like it's always time to go?
 And it's always wrong, and it's always off
 And it's hard to know, which heart to hold
 Now do you lie to someone? Is someone else on your mind?
 Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?
 Now Etta James, hit that symphony
 Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
 And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
 20 long years away from your heart
 'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
 My love is in my arms
 Etta James, Etta James
 Etta James, it's been a long time coming
 Etta James, Etta James
 Etta James, it's been a long time coming
 (At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James
 Etta James, it's been a long time coming
 (At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James
 Etta James, it's been a long time coming
 I could've said my love was coming 'long
