Cross the Line
Kiley Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i know he seems real cool
He aint' about no games
I think i like this dude
but imma play it low
and hope he doesn't see that i
getting kinda comfortable
imma let him know this time
(chorus)
i know you wanna cross the line 2x
but i can't let you
i know you wanna cross the line 2x
but i just met you
make me wanna cross the line 2x
it's official
i ain't gonna cross the line 2x
not even with you
he's pretty sweet on me
he even told me so
and when he touches me
i wanna tell him no
but then he's in my ear
whispering things to me
gotta say stop right here
cause i can't take the heat
chorus
your different from the other guys
i ain't even gonna try and lie
it's true we gotta crazy vibe and
your giving me the bedroom eyes
no i don't wanna compromise
cause i know it really won't be right
i know you wanna cross the line
but i don't wanna cross the line
chorus
In Kiley Dean's song "Cross the Line," the singer describes her feelings for a guy she barely knows but is already drawn to. She is cautious in her approach, revealing that while she is getting comfortable with him, she doesn't want to give the impression that she's giving in too quickly. She is aware of his advances and acknowledges that while he is sweet on her, she can't let him cross the line. The chorus repeats the title of the song with some variation, indicating the theme of temptation and the need for self-control.
The lyrics depict a relatable scenario for many young people who find themselves in situations where they're getting to know someone new and may feel a pull towards them, but are not ready to take things too far too quickly. The singer is aware of the attraction but is not willing to compromise her values to satisfy it. Despite the romantic connection she has with the person, she remains strong in her decision not to cross the line.
Overall, the message of the song is one of empowerment and self-control, especially in the realm of personal relationships. It encourages listeners to take things one step at a time and to know their boundaries.
