Lyrics
Cross Your Fingers
Cross your fingers, don't forget to cross your heart
Cause I've got fifty thousand reasons you and I will fall apart
If you banked all your tomorrows, I'd be sure to disagree
Cause I've got a vault of poor excuses dogging me
Close the window, don't forget to lock the door
Got no time for false illusions, not a virgin anymore
It would take a month of Sundays, and forever looks like rain
But for now I'm too tired to explain
So hold me tight
And turn out the light
Turn out the light
Say what you want to, and I'll do what I can
I'm too far gone for going nowhere
Too far gone to make a stand
It's a bitter pill to swallow, as you weaken by degrees
Pretty soon it's sure to have you on your knees
So hold me tight
And turn out the light
Turn out the light
High, low, medium, slow
Gear it way down where you don't want to go
I'm stuck in the middle but I'm dialed right in
To your radio, radio, radio, radio
So hold me tight
And turn out the light
Turn out the light
Cross your fingers, don't forget to cross your heart
Cause I've got fifty thousand reasons
You and I will fall apart
