Lyrics

So you heard I crossed over the line

Reflecting on crossing a significant line in life

Do I have regrets?

Questioning if there are regrets about crossing the line

Well, not yet

Stating a lack of regrets at the moment


There are some, some who give blood

Highlighting different ways people contribute, some give blood

I give love

Expressing a personal choice to give love instead of blood

I give

Emphasizing the act of giving in general


Soon, before the sun

Referencing a timeframe before sunrise

Before the sun begins to rise

Setting the stage before the day begins

I know that I, I must give

Acknowledging the necessity of giving for personal sustenance

So that I, I can live

Linking giving to personal survival


There are some, some whose "give"

Describing some individuals whose giving is corrupted or distorted

Twists itself to take their mistake

Explaining how twisted giving can lead to taking mistakes

Who, what? what made up the line?

Pondering the origin of the line that was crossed

Some say it was pain

Suggesting pain as a possible factor defining the line

Or was it shame?

Raising the possibility of shame as another defining factor


Soon, before the sun

Returning to the timeframe before sunrise

Before the sun begins to rise

Reiterating the need to give before the new day starts

I know that I, I must give

Emphasizing the connection between giving and personal survival

So that I I, I can live

Reiterating the importance of giving for personal well-being


Some, some who give blood

Highlighting others who give blood as a contrast to the singer

I give love, I give

Reaffirming the personal choice to give love


Soon before the sun

Returning to the timeframe before sunrise

Before the sun begins to rise

Stressing the importance of giving before the new day begins

I know that I, I must give

Emphasizing the connection between giving and personal sustenance

So that I, I can live

Reiterating the necessity of giving for personal survival
