Cross the Line
Shoes for Julia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the most annoying person I've ever met.
I can't get over you; it's driving me insane.
And all I want is to go back and be friends.
Things were easy then, I liked you better then,
I think I liked it better when...

I could call you up in the middle of the night,
And if you didn't answer I wouldn't really mind.
I could say whatever the hell was on my mind.
Now it's all a mess, cause we had to cross the line.

You're the kind of guy who turns a heart into dust
Just by holding it out in the sun too long.
And all I want is to go back being us.
Things were simple then, I was so crazy then,
I think I liked it better when...

I could call you up in the middle of the night,
And if you didn't answer I wouldn't really mind.
I could say whatever the hell was on my mind.
Now it's all a mess, cause we had to cross the line.

I miss drinking bottles of red wine,
I miss everything, right now I'm
Searching for a way to turn back time.
I'm such a mess, cause we had to cross the line.

Cross my heart and hope to die.
I can't look you in the eye.
I wish we could act like nothing happened.
How did things become so weird?
Why can't you come over here,
And pretend like nothing ever happened?
Cause I liked it when

I could call you up in the middle of the night,
And if you didn't answer I wouldn't really mind.
I could say whatever the hell was on my mind.
Now it's all a mess, cause we had to cross the line.

I miss drinking bottles of red wine,
I miss everything, right now I'm
Searching for a way to turn back time.
I'm such a mess, cause we had to cross the line.




I'm such a mess, cause we had to cross the line.
I'm such a mess, cause we had to cross the line.

Просто когда узнала о смерти брата, слушала именно эту песню и расплакалась, когда ехала на похороны прослушала раз 50. Песня тебе Юра.

Så fandt jeg endelig dette dejlige ørehængende nummer på YouTube og blev overrasket over at se, at det er dansk produceret og så endda af to, jeg kender i forvejen. Hvor er deres stemmer skønne sammen. Og hvor er du smuk, Julia!

Андрей Жеребцов
