Cross My Heart
Home Grown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me

I haven't had a sober night
Ever since you left me
And my days don't start until the sun goes down
A vampire, draining every bottle
They're all I have to quench these memories

These memories of you
It's all that I can do

I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me

I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me

Each night's played on my carousel
Never ending circles
I'll do anything to never see(?) again
It's all that i can do

I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me

I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me

If it would bring you back to me
(If it would bring you back to me)

I cross my heart and hope to die (die)
Stick every needle in these eyes (eyes)
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me

I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
