about

Written in the times of Corona, Arms Around Me is an ode to my love for my sister. Through the struggle of quarantine solitude I came closer to my feelings and understood the necessity of saying ‘I love you’ to my beloved ones. This song is talking about this feeling. My sister is a person who was always there for me when I was lost and never pushed me away or got angry when I made mistakes. I want to make people say 'I love you' more. It feels good, for both sides!

lyrics

When I'm afraid I did something stupid I call you right away
You are the only one who knows the words to make me feel OK
And I'm ashamed,
But you don't let me stand
Like a grounded black sheep in the rain
You put your arms around me
Even if you're too far to see

When I'm awake at night I often meet you down in memory lane
You're in your tutu ballet dress, a black swan crying by the lake
You can't let go
That you did miss the show
And you take the blame for all the pain
And I wish I went back in time
To sweep every tear from your eyes

We never said "I love you" though I know that we both feel this way
We were so young and foolish and we still are foolish to this day
Oh and I can't wait
To meet you and tell you
What I didn't have the guts to say
I'll put my arms around you
And I will no longer be a fool
