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 Twenty 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 Twenty long years away from your heart But finally, finally, my love is in my arms 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 Twenty 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, it's been a long time coming (At last, at last) Etta James, it's been a long time coming I could've said my love was coming 'long
