AT ARMS LENGTH Verse Drinking some coffee as you make our bed One lucky man, by God’s plan, sitting right here I never thought that I would find another part of me You and I, passing time, just sharing some beer But every time I pushed, you pulled at me inside You made me see, how it could be, with someone always near Chorus What I saw as meekness tore thru my best defense When I tried to keep you at arms length What I thought was weakness turned out my greatest strength Cuz I can’t hold you, if you’re at arms length Verse It should have been easy for you to walk away I didn’t call, not much at all, always made you wait It must have been tempting to nip it in the bud That pretty smile, classy style, deserved a better fate But you saw something I didn’t know I had A better man, with your hand, before it got too late Chorus When I acted heartless I thought that it made sense So I could keep you at arm’s length When I saw my weakness I found my greatest strength Cuz I can’t hold you, if you’re at arms length Bridge Somewhere down the line, I finally saw the light Now these arms will always hold you tight Chorus What I saw as meekness tore thru my best defense When I tried to keep you at arms length What I thought was weakness turned out my greatest strength Cuz I can’t hold you, if you’re at arms length I can’t love you if you’re at arms’ length I can’t love you if you’re at arm’s length @ 2012 Michael G Lang
