Everlasting Arms Songtext
von Vampire Weekend

I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

Oh I was made to live without you
But I′m never gonna understand, never understand
Oh I was born to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that′s going down


I thought it over and drew the curtain
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I hummed the "Dies Irae" as you played the Hallelujah
Leave me to my cell, me to my cell

If you'd been made to serve a master
You'd be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand
Could I be made to serve a master?
Well, I′m never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that′s going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms
