There was a guy making a plan
Find a girl, and she'd understand
And say, 'Please don't worry'

This one was right, that was the thing
Closing your eyes, see wedding rings
Well there is no hurry

Day like today, they're waiting for wings to form
They're waiting for clouds and storms
And for safety

And I said, 'I will'
I ask you please lie still
Your faith means everything

The one thing that I protect
Well don't you know, don't you forget
The sound of my voice

And hands down in the hold I brace
Put your hands on your handsome face
And lie when you say, 'You haven't got much, maybe today'

And it's all you won't become
And it's everything you might have done
My dear, 'We're closing in fast on another year

I will be anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again

Anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again

A day like today, waiting for wings to form
You're waiting for clouds and storms
And for safety

And I said, 'I will'
And I ask you please lie still
Your faith means everything

And I will be anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again

Anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again

Say it again
Say it again
Say it again

And you give what you have and it's all that you've got
And you hope it's enough, but you know that it's not
And you say, 'Please don't worry'

And you tear it apart and you count up the cost
And your head swims, it all gets lost
And you say, 'There is no hurry'

And you give what you have and it's all that you've got
And you hope it's enough, but you know that it's not
And you say

I will be anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again

Anxious arms
Beside myself when there's no one else
Would you be my answer then?
Won't you be my answer?
Say it again
