Cross My Heart
Cross My Heart - Marianas Trench Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll spend away from you
Another night I'm on another broken avenue
My bag is ripped and worn
Then again now so am I
Take what you want to take
What you wanna take
What you.
We'd go to sleep and then
You'd wake me up and kick me out of bed at 3 AM
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me
Do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you.
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me home
I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to.
Hotels are all the same
You're still away from me
Another day
Another dollar that I'll never see
Gonna get the pieces
The pieces
Pieces of something good
Lie just a little lie
Just a little lie
Just a.
I wonder what your doing
I wonder if you doubt it
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it
I don't know where to go
I'm going back to you
Be where I ought to be
Where I ought to be
Where I.
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me home
I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me Home
I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
The song "Cross My Heart" by Canadian pop rock band Marianas Trench is a story of longing, heartbreak, and desperation for a lost love. The singer starts off with a sense of detachment, describing how they are spending yet another day and night away from their loved one on a broken avenue. The singer's bag is worn and ripped, much like their heart, which is also broken. This is emphasized through the repetition of the phrase "what you wanna take." The term "take" is given greater significance as the singer feels that something is being taken away from them. The chorus reveals how much the singer misses their loved one and wants to be with them. The phrase "take me with you" emphasizes the sense of desperation felt by the singer. The singer previously enjoyed the mundane things in life, such as being woken up at 3 am by their loved one to hear them say dirty things over the phone. The chorus ends with the intense vow to cross their heart and hope to die, conveying the depth of their commitment to their loved one.
The second verse describes the singer's continue sense of detachment from their loved one. The line "hotels are all the same, you're still away from me" emphasizes how being away from their loved one in a hotel is just as lonely as being away from them anywhere else. The singer speaks of needing to "get the pieces of something good." They recognize that something in their life feels broken and is missing, a piece of something they once had with their loved one. However, they also recognize that lying to oneself is an easy solution, as suggested by the phrase "just a little lie." The bridge repeats the chorus with increased intensity and desperation. It ends with the repetition of the phrase "take me home," begging for their loved one to bring them back to where they belong. The song ends with the same chorus as before, with an additional repetition of the last line, emphasizing their commitment.

@alexthomas9169
Marianas Trench - one of those bands where every song is amazing, and you could just listen to them all day on repeat. Also, great stuff to listen to when you're upset, angry or stressed. I find them very calming somehow. :3
@diegor-d2745
This is one of the most nostalgic songs ever to me. I have this vague memory of hearing it in some dingy pizza shop with a radio and never ever forgot the "cross my heart and hope to die"
@cheyennemurphy362
I walk down the street with headphones in all the time. Where is my cute Canadian boy following me with a parade behind him?
