Lost in Your Arms

When you are up then I am down.
When I have a smile, you wear a frown.
I'm all alone when I'm with you.
What's gone wrong with what we do?

I'm lost in your arms,
So lost in your arms
Can you please tell me how I got lost in your arms?

If I were you then you'd be me.
If you were jailed then I'd be free.
I'm so lonely when you're with me.
What's gone wrong that we can't see?

I'm lost in your arms,
So lost in your arms
Can you please tell me why I got lost in your arms?

Nearby but not together
Together but so alone
Alone with you is lonelier by far than being on my own

I'm lost in your arms,
So lost in your arms
Can you please point the way to escape from your arms?
