lyrics
Put down your keys,
and take your coat off for awhile.
Be my distraction one more time.
When you are here
I have no reason not to smile.
Let me pretend that you’re still mine.
I always hoped
you would come around again.
And I know I should run away.
But I welcome you with open arms,
until you have taken up your fill,
then I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
Give me one kiss,
oh how I’ve missed
that familiar taste.
You know I don’t want another fight.
Just say the word,
and all the hurt will be erased.
Just help me get some sleep tonight.
I always hoped
that someday you’d change your mind
and you don’t have to tell me why
I will welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
I want you to take me for a ride.
I want you to dominate my life.
I haven’t slept much since the day you said goodbye.
So come by.
I know that I would be wise to second guess,
but either way you’ll break my heart.
So I welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
and take your coat off for awhile.
Be my distraction one more time.
When you are here
I have no reason not to smile.
Let me pretend that you’re still mine.
I always hoped
you would come around again.
And I know I should run away.
But I welcome you with open arms,
until you have taken up your fill,
then I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
Give me one kiss,
oh how I’ve missed
that familiar taste.
You know I don’t want another fight.
Just say the word,
and all the hurt will be erased.
Just help me get some sleep tonight.
I always hoped
that someday you’d change your mind
and you don’t have to tell me why
I will welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.
I want you to take me for a ride.
I want you to dominate my life.
I haven’t slept much since the day you said goodbye.
So come by.
I know that I would be wise to second guess,
but either way you’ll break my heart.
So I welcome you with open arms
until you have taken up your fill,
and I’ll watch the sky fall down as you are leaving.
I’ll look at the mess you left,
and I’ll start cleaning.

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piuntisupported by 5 fans who also own “Open Arms”
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'.

Pop, Baby (Deluxe Version)
by Adam Danielsupported by 5 fans who also own “Open Arms”
I’m not normally prone to over-statement, effusive comments or hyperbole. But “In and Out of Love” is the single greatest song in the history of power pop. I’ve got ‘em all. Badfinger, Big Star, F of W, TFC, Three Hour Tour, Owsley, Adam Schmitt and Cheap Trick. And this song outshines them all. Bravo Adam!

If you like the Moving Targets, The Feelies, Machine Gun Etiquette-era Damned, XTC in 1979, .. get this! These guys combine jangle pop, powerpop and punkrock like no other band.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.
