Cross the Room
Soul Cracks and Midnight Regrets
Lyrics
But will you text me in the morning
Expressing anticipation or desire for a morning text message.
I can't buy your feelings back
Acknowledging the inability to purchase or regain emotions.
Still got your pictures saved on my phone so there's that
Keeping memories alive through saved pictures on a phone.
You told me hey and how you doing, I said safety's what I lack
Recalling a conversation about safety, implying vulnerability.
'Cause every time I see your face I feel my soul crack
Describing the emotional impact of seeing the person's face.
Did you see me cross the room
Possibly referring to a physical movement across the room.
'Cause the only soul I saw was you
Highlighting the significance of the person in focus.
The only soul I ever knew
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the connection with this soul.
I wish you knew
Expressing a desire for the person to understand their feelings.
But I'll stay right here
Committing to the current emotional state and physical location.
I've fallen through the night
Describing a descent into a difficult period or emotional state.
If you catch me I might die (If you do)
Possibly implying the risk of emotional harm if caught.
Should I stay right here
Contemplating whether to remain in the current emotional state.
I'm stuck between your eyes
Feeling emotionally stuck or conflicted regarding the person.
Girl why am I surprised (That it's you)
Expressing surprise or confusion about the connection.
Yeah
Interjection or transitional element in the lyrics.
Headed out past midnight
Describing an excursion beyond midnight, possibly symbolic.
Thought I'd be okay since it'd been a while
Expecting emotional stability after a period of absence.
Couldn't tell you why you always feel right
Acknowledging the inexplicable rightness of the person.
When how you turn away always got a bite
Noting the impact of the person's turning away or rejection.
Couldn't tell you what I wanted
Expressing uncertainty about personal desires.
Knowing that it'd hurt, but since you got involved, I got hit
Acknowledging the pain involved in the person's involvement.
Had a bullet left, I pointed in the air and lost it
Using metaphorical language to describe a moment of surrender.
Cause of death, the way you aimed and shot it
Attributing a metaphorical cause of death to the person.
You know
Reflecting on the control the person has over thoughts and feelings.
Got your grip on my thoughts, I don't know what to do
Continuing the theme of the person's influence on thoughts.
You know
Describing the overwhelming effect of seeing the person.
Catch a glimpse of you, everything goes out of use
Highlighting the all-encompassing impact of the person's presence.
I know
Acknowledging the unhealthy nature of emotional restraint.
It's unhealthy how little I hold back for you
Expressing a lack of reservation or holding back in emotions.
Knowing how little you would respect what I choose
Recognizing the potential lack of respect for personal choices.
Not the guy that you love, just the guy 'cross the room
Emphasizing a role as an observer rather than the loved one.
Did you see me cross the room
Repeating the theme of physically moving across the room.
'Cause the only soul I saw was you
Reiterating the sole focus on the person's soul.
The only soul I ever knew
Reaffirming the exclusivity and depth of the connection.
I wish you knew
Expressing a longing for the person to understand their emotions.
But I'll stay right here
Reiterating the commitment to the current emotional state and location.
I've fallen through the night
Describing a continued descent into the night.
If you catch me I might die (If you do)
Introducing a potential consequence of being caught emotionally.
Should I stay right here
Contemplating whether to remain in the current emotional state.
I'm stuck between your eyes
Repeating the emotional conflict or entanglement with the person.
Girl why am I surprised (That it's you)
Expressing surprise or confusion about the connection (repeated).
