Cross-Sections
4-Seamer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time. It's time for you to give it up (for you to give it up). I
believe that you and me were not supposed to be. You know it's true so just
let it go. Could you not see the signs? Could you not even tell? It's like
a circle in your mind, a labyrinth of feelings that you can't explain. I
feel so sorry for you. I feel so sorry for you. -CHORUS- Cuz I know that you
want to get with me, but I feel just the opposite. I feel just the opposite.
Cuz I know that you want to be with me, I can see it in your eyes. I can
see it in your eyes. A little obvious. It's too obvious. I hope you

contemplate the decisions you make. I hope you navigate the things that you
say (the things that you say). This is getting distracting knowing you're
having all the time to figure this out. You have all the time in the world.

-CHORUS- Slow down, take a breath, and count backwards from 3-2-1. -CHORUS-
Slow down, take a breath, and count backwards from 3-2-1
