Crossfire
Nai Palm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I defend how good it is to define
When you call it a day
Before you've given it any of your time
A crossroad is better than a crossfire
Better than a crossfire
A crossroad is better
When you fall in love (ah)
How can I begin give this shorten it down
When you want my love
But you don't wanna give any of yours up
A crossroad is better than a crossfire
Fire, fire, fire
How to keep up?
Will it turn to bitter use?
How do I give love, when it's serving only you?
A crossroad is better than a crossfire
Better than a crossfire
A crossroad is better than a crossfire
Better than a crossfire
When you fall in love
I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are made of
Let's stay together, you and me boy
There's no one like you around
Oh baby, yeah, oh baby
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I am so into you
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I am so into you
Nai Palm's song Crossfire / So Into You is a blend of two songs, an original song called Crossfire and a cover of Tamia's 1998 classic, So Into You. The first verse of Crossfire talks about the struggle of putting into words the feeling of being in love as it cannot be properly defined or explained. The chorus follows with the idea that a crossroad, which refers to taking a moment to pause and consider one's options, is better than a crossfire, which is a heated argument or confrontation. The second verse touches on the challenge of giving love when it's not being reciprocated and the potential for bitterness to develop. The song ends with Nai expressing her deep attraction to someone and being unable to explain how much she is into them.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in various ways, but at its core, it seems to be a song about the complexities of love and relationships. Nai Palm highlights the importance of taking a moment to pause and consider the direction of the relationship. She also touches upon the challenge of giving love when it's not being reciprocated and the potential for bitterness to develop over time. The second half of the song, the cover of So Into You, expresses Nai's deep attraction to someone and her struggle to explain how she feels about them.
