Lyrics to "Open Arms"

by SZA (ft. Travis Scott)

SZA-SOS

[Intro:Norma Rowe]

When you do your best you ca-, I done told you

When you do your best, hell, that's all you can do

You and me and anybody else

So they always start talkin'

[Verse 1: SZA]

I'm runnin' away from where I'm from

Never can stay with no one

Lovin' you almost feels like somethin'

When no one's around me

You lost and found me

I was surrounded

With open, open, open

[Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott]

Open arms (Ooh), open arms

You give me open, I'm so devoted

You keep me open (Ooh), open arms

I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

[Verse 2: SZA]

Spent your life bein' hopeless

Chokin' on insecurity

I know, oh, this is bad

But, please, put a leash on me anyway

Who needs self-esteem anyway?

I hate myself to make you stay

Push me away, I'll be right here (Here)

With open, open, open

[Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott]

Open arms (Ooh), open arms

You give me open, I'm so devoted

You keep me open (Ooh), open arms

I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

[Verse 3: Travis Scott]

No matter what come between us, yeah, I decided (Ayy)

I'm forever ridin' (Ride), you're forever guidin' (Ayy)

Pull up on an opp, hit his curve up, slidin' (Brr)

Notice when you mad, ain't no words, just silence (Ooh)

You my favorite color, now you seein' every shade of me

You say that I'm trippin', I hit back like, "Where you takin' me?"

Locked in for life, on God, no replacin' me

Consequences, repercussions, karma keep on changin' me (Ooh yeah)

or you I trust, face card, valid ID (Ooh)

C'est la vie, go to Paris, it ain't five-star, it ain't me

Over-solid, keep it concrete (Ahh), I'ma bet it on your whole fee

Just don't switch sides, I could buy a piece, your wrist AP (Ahh)

Through the ups and downs and all the heat

Take a turn and tell you what it be

[Outro: SZA & Travis Scott]

I guess I gotta go (Ooh)

I guess it's time to go

I gotta let you go

(I'm so devoted)

You keep me open (Ooh)

Gotta let you go, gotta let you go

I gotta let you go, I must

You the only one that's holdin' me down (Ooh)

Only one holdin' me down (Ooh, only one)

'Cause you the only one that's holdin' me down
