about

This track features Andrea de Boer of Blue Venus on violin.

lyrics

I never thought I'd love again
but when I look at you
the room begins to spin

you found me on my knees
stretched out your hand
you helped me stand

that’s why I got my fingers crossed
behind my back got butterflies in my eyes
now I got fingers crossed behind my back
got butterflies in my eyes I hope it lasts

I never thought I'd want to say
your home is in my heart
it's here your meant to stay

but I see you and I fall
ten stories inside
every single time

that’s why I've got my fingers crossed
behind my back got butterflies in my eyes
now I got fingers crossed behind my back
got butterflies in my eyes I hope it lasts

some say love, love will make you weak
but love will make you strong
sometimes you cannot speak

of the love that makes you leap
leap without a net
getting your feet wet

that’s why I've got my fingers crossed
behind my back got butterflies in my eyes
now I got fingers crossed behind my back
got butterflies in my eyes I hope it lasts
got butterflies in my eyes I'm falling fast

oh, I got my fingers crossed
