All You Get
Crossing Lines: The Price of Desire
Lyrics
Here she comes again with that look in her eyes
Observing a familiar person approaching with a particular expression.
I wonder what she has in mind for me this time
Curiosity about the intentions or plans the person has for the speaker.
She tells me it's cool and that he doesn't know a thing
The person reassures the speaker, claiming secrecy from someone else.
She knows that doesn't matter cause I won't stop a thing
Confident that the secrecy is inconsequential because the speaker won't intervene.
And we know someone will burn from this
Aware that consequences will be faced by someone involved in the situation.
(chorus)
Beginning of the chorus section.
You want it, you got it
Indicating the availability of a desire or request.
but that's all you get
Limiting the fulfillment, emphasizing a restricted outcome.
I'm getting off easy
Expressing an easy resolution for the speaker with no remorse.
and there's no regrets
Asserting the absence of guilt or sorrow about the situation.
You get what you ask for
Stating that the person receives only what they explicitly ask for.
Highlighting a consistent outcome of receiving what is requested.
You know what you're in for
Acknowledging awareness of the consequences when crossing a boundary.
when you cross the line
Anticipating known outcomes when certain limits are exceeded.
There she goes again with her master plan
Noting a repeated pattern of the person executing a calculated plan.
And I can't say that I completely understand
Expressing partial understanding of the person's motives or actions.
No matter what takes place we'll all eventually
Reflecting on the inevitability of consequences for everyone involved.
Will have to realize that nothing comes for free
Emphasizing the universal truth that nothing is obtained without a cost.
(chorus)
Beginning of the chorus section.
I should've stopped this mess at the very first kiss
Regret about not intervening in the situation from the beginning.
But let's remember one thing
Reminding the person that they initiated the situation.
You're the one who started this
Attributing responsibility to the person for the unfolding events.
And we know someone will burn from this
Repeating the awareness of impending negative outcomes.
(chorus)
End of the chorus section.
