But above all, Lacrosse is five boys and one girl making fantastic pop music. From a basement in Stockholm, Lacrosse brings you love and happiness in songs so catchy that you can't help singing along! With a lot of energy, two intense lead vocalists, incredibly sweet guitar melodies and blazing drum beats, Lacrosse is the musical equivalent of endless summer nights when the world is young and beautiful and everything seems possible. The band was formed in 2005 and they released their debut album This New Year Will Be For You And Me in 2007. Their second album Bandages for the Heart was released two years later, in 2009. Two songs of Lacrosse can be heard in Daniel Espinosa's feature film "Outside Love". Their song You Can’t Say No Forever is featured in Estrella Damm's 2012 summer ad. Estrella Damm is a locally well-known catalan brewery that has already catapulted independent bands in previous years.

You Are Blind
Lacrosse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights spell 'I miss you', but it's a big city
If I stay at the same place long enough
Sooner or later I'll run into you

The airplane banner says 'Marry me', but it's a big city
Over and over, I'll think that it's you
But it never is when I get there

Love is cheap but you are not
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love

All the graffiti says 'Maybe I'm The One', but it's a big city
Nobody else will love you like I do
They say love is blind, but baby so are you

Freedom's free, but love is not
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love

Well it's a big city and it's full of signs
But you keep missing them, yeah, you keep missing them

Well it's a big city and it's full of signs
But you keep missing them, yeah, you keep missing them

A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love

A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love

A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love

Overall Meaning

The song "You Are Blind" by Lacrosse explores the idea of being blinded by love, and how difficult it can be to find someone in a big city. The lyrics paint a picture of a city filled with signs and symbols, yet the singer keeps missing them, unable to locate the person they long for. The first verse introduces the idea that despite seeing lights spelling "I miss you" and an airplane banner asking to "Marry me", the size of the city creates a disconnect, making it tough to actually reunite with the person they miss. The chorus repeats the phrase "a penny for your thoughts and a million for your love," suggesting that the singer values the love they have for this person, but recognizes that it comes at a great cost.

Line by Line Meaning

Lights spell 'I miss you', but it's a big city
The city has many lights and signs, but even if they spell 'I miss you,' the chances of us running into each other are slim due to the size of the city.

If I stay at the same place long enough Sooner or later I'll run into you
Given enough time, I might run into you while staying in the same place in this big city.

The airplane banner says 'Marry me', but it's a big city Over and over, I'll think that it's you But it never is when I get there
Despite seeing an airplane banner that says 'Marry me,' I know it's not you, even though I might think it is you, due to the size of the city making it easy to confuse other people for you.

Love is cheap but you are not A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love
While love may often be cheap and easy, you are worth much more than that to me. I would pay a million dollars for your love, and even though it may only require a penny for your thoughts, I believe they are worth much more as well.

All the graffiti says 'Maybe I'm The One', but it's a big city Nobody else will love you like I do They say love is blind, but baby so are you
All the graffiti in this city may suggest that someone else is 'The One,' but I know nobody else will ever love you as much as I do. They say love is blind, but perhaps you are blind to my love as well.

Freedom's free, but love is not A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love
While freedom doesn't cost anything, love is priceless. I would pay a million dollars for your love and cherish your every thought, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

Well it's a big city and it's full of signs But you keep missing them, yeah, you keep missing them
Despite the city being full of signs and signals, you seem to be missing all of them and not realizing how much I love you or how close I am to you.

A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love, a million for your love
Your thoughts are valuable to me, and I would pay a million dollars for your love. I believe you are worth much more than just a penny, and I want to express that to you.
