Missy Higgins - Sweet Arms Of A Tune Lyrics
He told her when she played
Wings sprouted from her shoulder blades
And every bone inside her seemed to change
So on her fingers moved
Over notes she hoped would soothe
Oh and how she longed to say
That she'd missed his troubled ways
Oh and if she could she'd do it all again
But sometimes every word has been used and there's nothing left to do
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune
A year ago today
New York City seemed to fall away
But an island is just that
Oh and when the world came flooding back
All the pillars underneath them began to crack
Now he's sitting on her floor
She's playing all the minor chords
Wishing so damn hard that he'd kiss her like before
But sometimes every word has been used and there's nothing left to do
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune
Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised and there's nothing left to prove
So just hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune...

Missy Higgins Sweet Arms Of A Tune Comments
Bellísima 💕 me encanta
this song really helped me when I couldn't poop. I put it on, squat and really push and all the poop just explodes out of me. It's great.
pretentious wanker
This song helped me through my mom's death. Listened to it on repeat when I found out and whenever I wanted to hold her again. I pass it on to anyone going through a loss in case it brings them comfort too.
We both loved Missy's music and went to one of her concerts. Thanks for the bonding experience and making music that really helps people. This whole album has gotten me through different things, but this song especially. 3 years later, it's still like listening for the first time.
+Melissa Richelle I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose my mum, she loves Missy too.
I was in a abusive relationship and these words helped me deal with the feelings that I had on the day I ended it. One day the pillars did crack and my very life was in danger-my face fractured. At first I thought it was my fault, but this song kind of grounded me and made me realize it wasn't all my fault and although it was hard I could see those good times now and then. I love Missy Higgins.
This is such a touching song and one of the reasons I've listened to Missy's new album almost constantly since I got it. She has a genius for telling it like it is...and so sweetly.
hold the one you can't have in a sweet arms of a tune .... just what im doing right now
"Oh and how she longed to say, that she'd missed his troubled ways,
and if she could she'd do it all again.
Cause sometimes every word has been used,
and there's nothing left to do but hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune."
As a singer, myself, I couldn't have identified or said these words any better...Currently experiencing one of the hardest heartbreaks of my life, and this song couldn't encapsulate that feeling any better...
