Died in Your Arms

[Verse 1]

So our story starts off on a cloudy morning
Weather reports a warning of potential storming
Adam wakes up out of bed, that wasn’t his
His mind scrambled from last night, when he was pissed
You see, the previous night was his birthday
Now his head was pounding in the worst way
Not the best way to spend his 2nd day being twenty
Looking ‘round, he found the bedroom to be empty

He stands up, his body weak, his head thumpin’
In the background, he can hear a shower runnin’
But no time to wonder, he needs to find his clothes
‘cause if she found him here, what would she think? Who knows!
He found his shirt, jacket, trousers and his shoes
Next to a used trojan and empty bottles of booze
Once he got dressed, he went out the front door
Walking past the girl he saw the night before

[Hook]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
(X2)

[Verse 2]

Vanessa was a shy girl, who lacked social skills
Too shy to even face any of the local thrills
A lot of anxiety in her, more than she can fathom
Lived in the same college campus as Adam
The same guy that she watched from afar
The same guy that would jumpstart her heart
One night, she wanted to stay at home and study hardly
But her flatmate convinced her to come to this party

So insecure, she stayed out the light, kept to herself
Drinking the lonely bottles of alcohol on the shelf
‘Till she sees Adam and she gets some confidence
The two spending time together, like there was no populace
She took the hammered Adam back with her like a player
They had some more bottles, then she let him nail her
She woke up long before him, quickly hoped in the shower
She saw him quickly leave, she felt so sour

[Verse 3]

The rain beating hard on his bedroom window
Adam worries Vanessa thinks that he’s a weirdo
A sleazy guy that only wanted to get between her thighs
So he decided the least he can do is apologise
Walking out his dorm, he makes his way to her room
Saw her in the corridor, didn't think they'd meet so soon
He still had plans to apologise all the same
But he was so transfixed by her hour glass frame

Vanessa's mind upon seeing him, got so clustered
The guy of her dreams, talking to her made her flustered
He apologised, conversations awkward, but they persist
'Till a three word confession had slipped through her lips
About to run and hide, but Adam said some words to make her day
That for a long time, he's been feeling the same way
So they swore they'll be together through the pain and bliss
A simple pact that was sealed with a kiss
