On My Own lyric question

Something Eponine says doesn't make any sense to me... it's in the first verse:

On my own pretending he's beside me
All alone I walk with him 'til morning
Without me, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he's found me

The third line makes no sense. Unless I'm hearing it wrong.

Someone explain it to me, please.

It is because the line is actually

"Without HIM"

does it no make sense? haha
Its a simple mistake. haha

Okay. The girl who sings the role on the OBC is hard to understand at times - but I love her voice.

"Without him I feel his arms around me"

Confused I'm still drawing a blank on this one.

hahaha yes. She is VERY hard to understand.
But yep. I know Les Mis. inside and out... so if you have any more questions... I am here! haha

You can't understand her because she's delusional and crazy!

hahaha Eponine.... the mental case....

yep. sounds about right. I mean... she is seeing lights in misty rivers. Obviously... this chick is smoking something Very Happy

Guess it could mean that even though he isn't there she can feel him touching her.

More like she imagines him embracing her when he's not around?

Yeah, but if you're not smoking something (and are paying attention), she snaps out of her delusions half-way through the song, and handles the situation quite well considering the circumstances. Wink

She is day-dreaming about how Marius is beside her and embraces her.
