Etta James Lyrics - Brian Fallon

Did you spend most of your life waitin' 

On a fairytale read between pages? 

Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio 

Is somebody waiting on the same song? 

And we sold our souls on the fantasies 

We found in records and black and white movies 

And I used to beg June to burn me alive 

If that would get me anywhere but here 

Now Etta James, hit that symphony 

'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy 

And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars 

20 long years away from your heart 

'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms 

My love is in my arms

And it was impossible to hold on to anything 

In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone 

I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above 

To the sirens all lost in the ocean 

And all we wanted was absolutely everything 

Like foolish, hungry young lions 

I was lost and alone, a million light years from home 

It was nobody's fault but mine 

Now Etta James, hit that symphony 

'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy 

And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars 

20 long years away from your heart 

But finally, finally, my love is in my arms 

Photos 

And was there a hole in your life? 

Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied? 

Do you feel like it's always time to go? 

And it's always wrong, and it's always off 

And it's hard to know, which heart to hold 

Now do you lie to someone? Is someone else on your mind? 

Do you lie to someone with me on your mind? 

Now Etta James, hit that symphony 

Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy 

And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 

'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars 

20 long years away from your heart 

'Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms 

My love is in my arms 

Etta James, Etta James 

Etta James, it's been a long time coming 

Etta James, Etta James 

Etta James, it's been a long time coming 

(At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James 

Etta James, it's been a long time coming 

(At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James 

Etta James, it's been a long time coming 

I could've said my love was coming 'long
