Crossroads
Shem Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your touch is cold I know it s me
I tell myself over and over
that if the stars align – then all the things will turn around
if I'd only change the world we could work it out
Standing at the Crossroads – praying for a sign
starring at the distance – it's cloudy i n my mind
if we wait forever – how will we ever know
Standing at the Crossroads.
Some patience would be nice right now
some words of advice to help me out
why do I feel alone when I'm with you
am I the one who's dragging us down
I know I saw your smile – I must be doin' something right
do I want to close or out of your side
Standing at the Crossroads – praying for a sign
starring at the distance – it's cloudy in my mind
do we belong together – are we afraid of letting go
if we wait forever – how will we ever know
One more night one more try and one more reason yeah
need to wait sort my thoughts till I believe them
one more kiss one more touch and one more good-bye
Standing at the Crossroads – praying for a sign
starring at the distance – it's cloudy in my mind
do we belong together – are we afraid of letting go
if we wait forever – how will we ever know
Standing at the Crossroads.
