Fingers Crossed
Coin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crossed, I keep my fingers crossed
but my lips still crack, and my teeth stay locked
And its true, it's a kind of mess
I'm kind of obsessed, I couldn't be so cruel
And i got a thing for you, now
And it won't go, it won't go
And i think i want you more now
but you don't know, you don't know
The queen of your hometown
You just stepped down, from a mother's dream
Yeah, I guess I feel a little obsolete
We changed a lot since 17
We all grow older, still incomplete
But i got a thing for you now
and it won't go, it won't go
And I think I want you more now
But you don't know
Oh, wanna watch you move, oh, wanna watch you move
Oh I go around the world just to cross the street
I wanna watch you move like a time machine
Oh, wanna watch you move, oh, wanna watch you move
Oh I go around the world just to cross the street
I wanna watch you move like a time machine
I got a thing for you now
And it won't go, it won't go
And I think I want you more now
But you don't know, you don't know
Well, I got a thing for you now (well, I got a thing for you now)
It won't go (go, go, go)
Well i think i want you more now
but you don't know, you don't know
And I think I want you




And I think I want you
And I think I want you
