Crossfire
Love's Revelation in Shadows: Crossfire by The Paper Kites & Amanda Bergman
Lyrics
I was caught in a crossfire
I found myself in a difficult situation or conflict
I was still as the night
I remained still, quiet, or passive like the night
You were an angel in the shadows
You appeared as a positive or protective figure in the background
When I saw the light
My perception changed when I discovered something enlightening
Found your eyes in the darkness
Discovered your eyes in the darkness, suggesting a connection
Found your face in the haze
Recognized your face despite confusion or uncertainty
There was a band they were playing
A band was playing, but the specific details were unclear
Couldn't say what they played
Unable to identify the music being played
Through a crowd full of strangers
Navigating through a crowd of unknown individuals
I could have shouted out
Had the opportunity to express myself but chose not to
Though I couldn't speak
Speechless, unable to communicate verbally
Until now
Finally able to speak or express myself
Could I be one for you
Repeated questioning of whether the speaker could be significant for someone, dependent on the other person
Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-If you're the one for me
-Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-If you're the one for me
-Came without warning
A sudden and unexpected arrival, much like a surprise attack
Like a thief in the night
Stealthily arrived, perhaps with a sense of secrecy
And I never heard nothing
No prior indications or warnings
And I never thought twice
No previous consideration or hesitation
'Cause I'd fall for you baby
Falling for the other person repeatedly, describing a cyclical pattern
And I'd fall every time
-Fall right in to your arms
-And back out to the night
-Through a crowd full of strangers
Similar situation as line 11, navigating through a crowd
I could have shouted out
Could have expressed emotions or thoughts but refrained
Though I had no words
Unable to find words to speak
To speak until now
Finally able to speak or express myself (similar to line 14)
Could I be one for you
Reiteration of the question of potential significance to the other person
Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-If you're the one for me
-Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-Could I be one for you
-If you're the one for me
