I Got Lost in His Arms
Discovering Love's Labyrinth: I Got Lost in His Arms
Lyrics
Don't ask me just how it happened
Expressing uncertainty about the events leading up to the current situation.
I wish I knew
Desiring knowledge or understanding about the unfolding events.
I can't believe that it's happened
Expressing disbelief at the occurrence of a certain event.
And still it's true
Acknowledging the truth of the situation despite initial disbelief.
I got lost in his arms and I had to stay
Describing the experience of getting lost in someone's arms and being compelled to remain.
It was dark in his arms and I lost my way
Highlighting the darkness in the embrace and the disorientation it caused.
From the dark came a voice
Introducing a mysterious voice emerging from the darkness.
And it seemed to say
Conveying a message from the mysterious voice, possibly guiding the speaker.
There you go
Repetition of the guidance, emphasizing the speaker's direction.
There you go
-How I felt as I fell I just can't recall
Expressing difficulty in recalling emotions while falling.
But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall
Highlighting the supportive nature of the embrace that prevented a harsh fall.
And I said to my heart
Addressing the speaker's own heart, personifying it.
As it foolishly kept jumping all around
Describing the heart's excited and erratic behavior during the experience.
I got lost but look what I found
Acknowledging being lost but expressing the discovery of something valuable.
(There you go, there you go)
Repetition of the guidance from the mysterious voice.
How I felt as I fell I just can't recall
Reiteration of the difficulty in recalling emotions during the fall.
But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall
Reemphasizing the support provided by the arms during the fall.
And I said to my heart
Returning to the speaker's heart and its lively response.
As it foolishly kept jumping all around
Describing the heart's continued excitement and movement.
I got lost but look what I found
Summarizing the experience as being lost but finding something valuable.
