Cross Your Mind
Sabrina Claudio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a mess, I admit it
I'm addicted to anything that's not good for me, oh
And in spending my time thinking, "who the hell is she in your arms smiling?"
I know you're afraid, do what you want, but I've been curious

Do I ever, do I ever cross your mind when you're kissing her
Touching her, staring in her eyes?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind

When you run your hands through her hair like you did to mine?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind?

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mind, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hypocrite, I admit it
'Cause it's not like I've been spending my nights alone
But I can't stop wondering if you're there at home
Waking up beside her
And does she feel the way I felt under you?

Do I ever, do I ever cross your mind when you're kissing her
Touching her, staring in her eyes?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind
When you run your hands through her hair like you did to mine?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind?

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mind, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, it's just jealousy that keeps me up at night
When you're runnig through my mind
I know you feel the same, tell me that I'm right
Do I ever, mmm
Do I ever, ever, ever, ever

Do I ever cross your mind when you're kissing her
Touching her, staring in her eyes?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind
When you run your hands through her hair like you did to mine?
Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind?

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mind, oh, oh, oh, oh

Line by Line Meaning

I'm a mess, I admit it
I acknowledge that I'm not in a good place mentally and emotionally

I'm addicted to anything that's not good for me, oh
I have a tendency towards self-destructive behavior and choices

And in spending my time thinking, "who the hell is she in your arms smiling?"
I can't help but wonder who the person you're with is, and it hurts me to think that they might be making you happier than I did

I know you're afraid, do what you want, but I've been curious
I understand that you might be scared to pursue something with me again, but my interest in you has not waned

Do I ever, do I ever cross your mind when you're kissing her
Do I still hold a place in your thoughts even when you're being intimate with someone else?

Touching her, staring in her eyes?
Does being physically close and emotional with someone else make you think of me?

Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind
Please be honest with me and let me know if I still occupy your thoughts

When you run your hands through her hair like you did to mine?
When you touch her in a similar way to how you used to touch me, does it bring back memories of our time together?

Oh, it's just jealousy that keeps me up at night
I am aware that this feeling of unease is rooted in my own jealousy of your relationship with someone else

When you're running through my mind
I can't stop thinking about you and our past together

I know you feel the same, tell me that I'm right
I have a sense that you might be feeling similarly, but I need you to confirm it for me

Do I ever cross your mind when you're kissing her
Do I have a place in your thoughts even during the most intimate moments with someone else?

Touching her, staring in her eyes?
Are you reminded of me when you're physically and emotionally invested in someone else?

Tell me, do I ever, do I ever cross your mind
Please be honest with me and let me know if I still hold any significance for you

When you run your hands through her hair like you did to mine?
Does touching another person in a similar way to how you used to touch me make you think of our past together?
