Description
Staying the night in someone else's arms, knowing that you will disappear again in the morning. A slightly crazy agreement between two weary hearts: not to demand a future, not to swear eternity, but simply to escape the storm here and now. The taste of temporary comfort is like old wine: strong, slightly bitter, and still tempting to pour another glass. Because even if broken love doesn't last, another person's arms are still better than a cold floor.
Lyrics and translation
Original
All right, we're rolling.
I've been walking on the edge so damn long.
I can no longer see the light.
It keeps me up too late when everything goes wrong. How do you sleep so tight?
And I believe that you are a shelter. And I need saving from the storm.
You and me, we weren't made for each other. That's just something we'll ignore.
Hold me, oh, we already know how this goes. By the morning, I'll be gone.
Though we both seen our fair share of thorns. It don't mean that this ain't wrong.
Maybe someday, I'll bleed on my own.
But for now, you're where I'll go.
I know, I know that you're better off alone.
But for me, your arms are better than the cold.
Broken love is something we've already tried.
And we both know it doesn't work.
I can't promise you the rest of my life.
But I'm here right now for what it's worth.
Late at night, I don't need no reason.
I come knocking at your door.
Can't deny that as long as I'm breathing, well,
I'll be coming back for more.
Oh.
Hold me, hold me, I already know how this goes. By the morning,
I'll be gone. Though we both seen our fair share of thorns.
It don't mean that this ain't wrong.
Maybe someday, I'll bleed on my own. But for now, you're where I'll go.
I know, I know that you're better off alone.
But for me, your arms are better than the cold.
But for me, your arms are better than the cold.
